GBWhatsApp Hidden Chat Notifications: How to Stay Discreet

GBWhatsApp is one of the most popular WhatsApp MODs available for Android users. It offers many useful features that the official WhatsApp doesn’t support. One such feature is hidden chat – a tool that allows users to hide specific chats from the main chat screen to keep conversations private.

But what happens when someone from a hidden chat sends you a message? Will your phone ring loudly? Will a notification pop up on your screen for everyone to see?

Thankfully, GBWhatsApp gives you full control over how notifications work for hidden chats, so you can stay discreet and avoid awkward situations.

In this article, we’ll show you how hidden chat notifications work in GBWhatsApp, how to customize them, and how to stay completely private.

What Are Hidden Chats in GBWhatsApp?

Hidden chats are one of the standout privacy features in GBWhatsApp. When you hide a chat, it disappears from your main chat list. To view it, you need to enter a PIN, fingerprint, or pattern — depending on what you’ve set up.

This feature is great for:

• Keeping private conversations away from prying eyes
• Avoiding distractions from less important contacts
• Organizing your chats better

Do Hidden Chats Still Send Notifications?

By default, hidden chats can still send you notifications just like any regular chat. This means that a message from a hidden contact could still show up in your status bar, notification center, or lock screen — unless you change the settings.

Luckily, GBWhatsApp gives you control over this. You can choose whether to:

• Show or hide the sender’s name
• Show or hide the message preview
• Use a specific tone or vibration
• Completely mute hidden chat alerts

How to Customize GB WhatsApp Notifications for Hidden Chats

Follow these simple steps to manage hidden chat notifications in GBWhatsApp:

Step 1: Open GBWhatsApp

Download and install GB WhatsApp, then, launch the GBWhatsApp app on your Android phone.

Step 2: Access Hidden Chats

To view hidden chats, tap the “GB” logo or the lock icon (depending on your theme). Enter your PIN, pattern, or fingerprint.

Step 3: Select a Hidden Chat

Tap and hold on the hidden chat you want to modify notifications for.

Step 4: Tap the Contact Name

This opens the profile/settings for that contact.

Step 5: Tap “Custom Notifications”

Enable the custom notifications option. This will allow you to adjust settings like:

• Notification tone
• Vibration pattern
• Popup notification
• Light color
• Call ringtone

You can also disable all notifications completely for that contact if you want total silence.

How to Mute Hidden Chat Notifications in GBWhatsApp Entirely

If you don’t want to receive any alerts from a hidden contact:

1. Open the hidden chat
2. Tap the contact name
3. Choose “Mute notifications”
4. Select the duration (8 hours, 1 week, or always)

This is perfect if you’re trying to stay fully discreet.

Pro Tips for Staying Discreet with Hidden Chats in GBWhatsApp

• Turn off notification previews in your Android settings if you don’t want messages showing up on your lock screen.
• Use a generic notification tone for hidden contacts to avoid drawing attention.
• Disable vibration and popup for these chats so your phone won’t buzz or show message previews unexpectedly.
• Combine hidden chats with DND (Do Not Disturb) mode in GBWhatsApp to pause all incoming notifications while using the app.

Summary: Stay in Control of Your Privacy with GBWhatsApp

GBWhatsApp makes it easy to hide chats — but managing how those chats notify you is just as important. Whether you want to receive a subtle alert or no alert at all, you’re in full control.

Here’s a quick recap:
