I will view your status and nothing will happen grin.
Lol. These day it just that I don't do the normal WhatsApp chit chat anymore. It is more like text message without having to pay the network N4 charges for me. cheesy
If you don't want to view anyone status then delete them from your contact. Life is not that hard
the problem is dat some people just want to view d status of someone without the person knowing ( ego thing) but Oga Zuckerberg is telling dem sorry bro dat cannot happen

lol sometimes it's not because of something will happen or not.... I'm still waiting for WhatsApp to release the update to disable the 'online' notification too on the official WhatsApp application.. sometimes, you might view someone's message and don't have the opportunity to reply them at that moment, the person might think that you're purposely ignoring them... this is when turning off the read receipts come in handy... at least, it would give them that little peace of mind that it has delivered but they can't attack you that you have or haven't read their messages ...

This is the dumbest thread on Naira
Land. I wonder how old these peeps are?? Here fighting over read receipts that has nothing to do with status. A simple google search would have helped your misery.

Nigeria is finally doomed, this generation of illiterates and itks that have nothing upstairs and would still argue with their elders. Aru!!!
Guy I saw your previous post, read receipts works the same way for messages and status updates.. why are you arguing

it's you that's arguing blindly... first, are you using the official WhatsApp application? even if you're using GB WhatsApp, it works the same way... na you dey argue blindly...

the picture below is what it's going to tell you if you upload your status without turning on read receipts... this is why you won't be able to see any views to your status updates until you turn it back on... you won't be able to see people who viewed your status or messages, and vice versa until you turn it back on.

Me sef just tire. The hypocrisy though lol. There is mute option too. If they don't want to view some people status then mute them or delete their contact. Some people just like giving themselves unnecessary wahala. U wanna hide and view status and don't want to be seen lol
For me I will view my contacts WhatsApp status with my full chest. grin

If you turn off read receipt and

1. View the status of a normal WhatsApp user, they won't know

2. View the status of a GB WhatsApp user or other mods of WhatsApp, they will know , it will show.

So if he's been turning off read receipt and viewing status on WhatsApp thinking he's anonymous, he has been deceiving himself.



does GB WhatsApp record video call

It is better you don't open messages if you not ready or too busy to reply. Don't be in hurry to always reply every message.
For me I only respond fast to my family and business WhatsApp text. Any other thing you might get your reply in two or three days time. So some people will rather call my number than text me on WhatsApp lol.

not every case, especially if it's important... you only reply two or three days time because they aren't important to you or in your priority list..

I can't believe how dumb some people are, read receipts is not for status, it's for the pigmentation(blueing) of the double tick, which occurs when the receiver views the message.
You dey jonze.
Turning off read receipt works for status too. Stop disgracing yourself on public forum. When read receipt is turned off WhatsApp will tell you that you don't have the right to know people that viewed your status too. How old are you sef?

Your disrespectful outbursts are not necessary, sir.

How about passing your message without pecks of insults? Don't you think this would be better?
