WhatsApp shows blue ticks to indicate when your messages have been read by the recipient. If you want to disable read receipts and prevent others from seeing when you’ve read their messages, you can turn off this feature. Here’s how:
– Go to WhatsApp settings (the three dots, top right).
– Select “Privacy”.
– Toggle off the “Read receipts” option.
“What impresses us most is their ability to convey the issue whilst avoiding the technical jargon that those outside of IT really don’t understand.”
