How to disable WhatsApp blue ticks for read messages


Recently, WhatsApp has added a feature to let you know that your messages have not only been received but also read. The double grey ticks turn blue as soon as the message has been read by the recipient.

However, you may not always want to let others know if you have actually read it...

Well, here is how you disable the feature.

WhatsApp has silently added another feature wherein you can disable this feature... Please note you gotta have a WhatsApp version of 2.11.444 or above. This is publicly available now and you can set your WhatsApp to automatically download and install updates..

Now,

Select Settings > Account > Privacy. Under the Privacy tab, uncheck the Read Receipts option
It would look something like this :

WhatsApp Read Receipts

Well, as you can see, this feature doesn't apply to group messages and will let other participants know when you've read a messages.. But still, fair enough!!!
