What's Your Take About Whatsapp Read Receipts? by helinues: 1:53pm On May 16, 2020 |

Mine is disabled. Some people can be very annoying and demanding on how quick or fast you should respond to their messages. 12 Likes |

I leave mine on. Those with read receipts off I treat their messages differently from those with theirs on. Once yours is off, I don't feel obligated to be polite to you. I hate games. It is childish and rude also. 10 Likes |

helinues: I doubt it is coming from a place of inferiority complex, rather it is rude, disrespectful and dishonest and I dare say, attention seeking. I have no respect for people who leave messages unread for long, or read and not reply. I cut them off ASAP! Male or female. 5 Likes |

helinues:In the event that I've read something and didn’t instantly respond for whatever reason (reasonable or unreasonable), it's effort to justify it every time. If they don't know, they can't get upset because of it and I can't feel bad, everyone wins I'm not saying I'm in the wrong or right, situations will vary. But this method just takes care of everything for me personally 6 Likes |

ibkayee: Then one needs to ask, what are those people doing on your list in the first place? Not directly questioning you, just still not confusing enough... I always asked friends that have thousands of people on their social media list to ask ordinary N10k help from all of them and see how many will respond. |
Re: What's Your Take About Whatsapp Read Receipts? by crackland: 3:09pm On May 16, 2020 |
helinues:Because you don't like being ignored and you want to know if the person is doing it deliberately, right? Well I even turned off my Last Seen in addition to Read Receipts because of people like you. 7 Likes |

crackland: Being ignored ? With how many people on my contact list? I doubt if they are up to 20... What exactly are you afraid of that you can't confront that you need to hide under last seen read receipts...? 5 Likes |
Re: What's Your Take About Whatsapp Read Receipts? by ibkayee(f): 3:17pm On May 16, 2020 |
helinues:It's not always that deep for me, I acknowledge that some people can be rude, but sometimes it could be a case of genuinely being busy and forgetting or needing time to think over the response you're going to send, so to cover all bases I just remove the receipts. Asking people on your list for 'ordinary' N10k as some kind of experiment seems a bit entitled to me lol, no matter how small it is. You'll probably find that it's actually people with this mindset that push people to disable their receipts in the first place lol 5 Likes |

helinues:Well for me, fear has nothing to do with it.. but my TIMING. I don't like to spend too much time chatting cos I'm more of a Video/Audio calls kinda person and all my closest contacts know this is exactly how I prefer communicating on WhatsApp. But for those who are not close enough or for those who for some reason are not able to do video/audio calls, I ALWAYS respond to their messages no matter what. I just simply prefer doing it at my own convenience, and having those settings turned off gives me that privilege. If you hate it when people on your list do it, you can download a mod version of WhatsApp which allows you to override whatever privacy settings anyone turns on. That's what two of my friends (females) did, just to be able to see when I read their messages. I don't understand that kind of obsession to know everything. Lol 6 Likes |

Mariangeles: I was just curious because when I open WhatsApp to read your message you can see it but I can also read your message on my screen without opening WhatsApp and you won't see it. Either way, I decide when I reply and I reply when I can. If I don't, it is not because I am rude but most probably because I am busy or just tired. Nothing personal. The fact that we are available 24/7 does not mean that we are obliged to react whenever someone decides to. I think this is disrespectful of other people's personal space and time. I don't expect anyone to dance to my tune, literally. 4 Likes 1 Share |

Hathor5: That is why I don't chat for chats' sake. When you see my message(s), know that it is important. Time is money. |
Re: What's Your Take About Whatsapp Read Receipts? by helinues: 4:02pm On May 16, 2020 |
crackland: The truth is I hardly initiate a conversation except if I have something reasonable to talk about.. I always give time before adding people to my contact . I really don't have problem with unsaved numbers but the few one on my list that might probably be asking for favour? It sounds offensive to me. To me it shouldn't be applied to everybody on the contact list.. |
Re: What's Your Take About Whatsapp Read Receipts? by PuZZyNegro: 5:15pm On May 16, 2020 |
People have complained bitterly about this read receipt thing. Some say it's inferiority complex and cowardly to turn it off. I personally turned my own off to keep my sanity in tact. Someone can just mark the message as read without logging in to WhatsApp with the intention of replying later. You might feel ignored whereas the person didn't have the intention to ignore you. Sometimes, when the person finally replies, you were already fuming and might not reply properly or at all. My last seen is available simply because I have nothing to hide 4 Likes 1 Share |

Mine is disabled and I do notsee any issue with it. I have one of my whats app notifications silent because it became a big distraction at the time I was writing my thesis and even now, I think I like it that way. I shouldn't be controlled by a gadget I should have control over. 5 Likes 1 Share |

Mine is permanently off...and to be sincere, people like the OP made me disable mine... everything is sha about them. They expect you to reply asap without considering how busy you are at that moment... You can get angry with my response time if u don't know when i have read ur message... Btw, this has greatly saved me from unnecessary explanation and i even have time to think about my response very well... 6 Likes 1 Share |

I have had mine turned off since I started using WhatsApp in 2016 and each time I reinstall whataspp with the 'receipt indicator' activated; I won't be comfortable chatting with any one. Call it phony or pride - I still don't care - Not everyone deserves a reply when their question(s)/chat is out of context. Some mischevious people are so daring chatting on whatsapp what they can't say to you face to face due to inhibition effect, so give me a reason to reply such a fellow, hence, my hidden seen receipt. 3 Likes |
