Tech Tip – How To Disable The Read Receipts In WhatsApp

WhatsApp can let you know if  someone has read your message by displaying two blue ticks.  However you might not want people to know you have read their messages by turning off read receipts.

Here is how to do it....

• Open WhatsApp
• Go to settings (Android three dots, iOS settings gear wheel)
• Select Privacy
• Scroll down until you find Read Receipts
• Slide the toggle to the off position

After doing this you will no longer send read receipts to the message senders when you read their messages...!  Enjoy
