Stop Your Friends From Knowing That You Have Read Their Whatsapp Messages by jimfend: 1:26am On Oct 31, 2015
As we all may already know, Whatsapp now has a feature that allows the sender of a whatsapp message to know when his/her message is read by the receiver.

The message sender knows that his/her message is read by the reciever when the double check icon in the bottom-right corner of the Whatsapp message bubble changes from gray to blue.

This might seem like a good feature. It makes it easier to keep track of a conversation on Whatsapp. But, some users (myself included) feel that this feature is a privacy breach. Thankfully, there is an option to disable it, even though there is a tradeoff.

It's not a one way thing beware !!!

If you disable read recipients on your Whatsapp, you'll also not be able to see receipts for messages sent by you. If you want to see blue tick marks on messages sent by you, then you must allow others to see blue tick marks when you read their messages. So it's like give and take. Quite unfortunate, isn't it?

It's not unfortunate, it's actually the right thing. If your privacy is so important to u, you should respect other people's privacy too. If u decide u don't want pple to see ur online/activity status, then you shouldn't see other pples online status too.

Facebook pple get sense I swear. grin

There's a way to see if others have read your messages without them knowing you have read theirs.
Simply download any WhatsApp mod with that feature.
Here's the link.


Enjoy
