Disable read receipt.

In the messenger, when you read a message, the read checkbox is ticked and your interlocutor sees that you have read his message. There are times when you see an email but don't want to reply yet or don't have time, so you want to prevent the user who wrote to you from receiving a read receipt. It's time to learn how to remove the treasured "viewed" checkbox. For this:

• Go to "WhatsApp" → "Settings" → "Account".
• Next, go to the "Privacy" menu and next to the "Read Reports" item, set the slider to the off position. In this case, notifications will be turned off, and your interlocutor will not see when you read his letter.

This feature is very easy to turn off, so now you can watch messages without the people who sent you messages knowing about it. Also, you can hide your activity from users, for this:

• In the app, go to the "Privacy" tab → "Was there".
• And in this menu, choose who can see your last visit to the messenger.

You can also choose who can see your profile picture in the privacy menu. Click "Profile photo" and select the desired settings.

Closing correspondence in WhatsApp from strangers.

There is also a little advice for those who use this messenger:

• Scroll down in the privacy menu and tap on Screen Lock.
• Turn on the "Require Face ID" (or Touch ID, depending on your iPhone model) function and select the time period that will be relevant to you.

This function will block the messenger in your absence. Accordingly, without your face or fingerprint, another person will not be able to log into your messenger and read your correspondence.

• If all of a sudden read receipts are not turned off, and you want to see the message so that the interlocutor does not know about it, go to the messenger chats.

• After that, press and hold the chat you want to see the text in, and a preview window will open. In this window, you can read the message, but for the interlocutor it will be displayed as unread.

Press lightly on the chat so as not to fully open the message. This feature is available thanks to 3D-Touch, a strong press is a quick chat opening, and a weak one is a preview.

Here are some tips to make your WhatsApp experience even better. Secretly open chats, set privacy settings so that other people cannot read your correspondence.

WhatsApp has message status reports that allow application users to judge whether their message has reached the recipient and whether it has already been read. Most modern instant messengers also have such a useful feature.

WhatsApp users are used to the fact that if a message is read, then two blue checkmarks appear next to it. They are a guaranteed sign of a read. But what does it mean if you know for sure that the message you sent was read by the recipient, but the checkmarks in the messenger next to them did not turn blue. In this article, we deal with the issue of not matching the status of messages to reality.

Why the checkmarks didn't turn blue when reading a message in WhatsApp

Such a false status can appear for several reasons:

• Each WhatsApp user can set privacy and make sure that he does not send confirmation of reading the message. Thus, he will read all the messages sent to him, but none of the senders will know about it, since the checkmarks will not turn blue. This is the most common reason for false status messages on WhatsApp. And below we will look at this in more detail.
• Internet problems are the second possible cause. For example, if the recipient read the message, but then he lost access to the Internet, then a read report will not be sent until access is restored. Also, if after reading the message you, the sender, lost access to the Internet, then you will not receive a read notification until it appears again, even if the notification was sent, respectively, the checkmarks will not turn blue, even if the message has already been read . We will also look at this below.
• Another common reason is that if the recipient read your message by lowering the top curtain of the smartphone, then you will also not see a read receipt. For such a quick reading of the notification, you will not even need to open the WhatsApp application on your smartphone. If the recipient uses a messenger on a computer, then in this case, you can read the message in a pop-up notification without opening the application.
• The message may not have been read after all. By the last time a person was online, you can try to judge the status of the message - if you came in, then you definitely read it. But maybe he just opened the messenger and didn't read your message. Then, of course, the checkmarks will not turn blue.

How to turn off the read receipt

Above, we wrote that each WhatsApp user has the ability to turn off the read receipt. Surely, you wondered how to enable this report if it was previously disabled. Let's see how to do it on a mobile device.

Here everything is simple and done in a few steps:

1. Click on the three dots at the top right to open the menu.
2. Now click Settings.
3. On the next page, click on "Account".
4. And then go to the "Privacy" section.
5. Here you will see the Read Report option. If this option is enabled, reports will be sent from the messenger when its owner reads the message. If the option is disabled, the report will not be sent.

This option can be controlled only in the mobile version of the application. In the browser web version, as well as in the version installed on the computer, this is not possible.

Reading report does not come due to lack of internet

The second reason we discussed above is the lack of internet. If there is no Internet, then the report, of course, will not be sent or delivered.

The Internet can be lost for your recipient not only by accident, but also specifically at his request. For example, if he does not want you to know that he has read the message, and at the same time he does not want to fiddle with privacy settings. He can temporarily turn off the Internet for himself, read the message, and you will not receive a read receipt and the checkmarks will not be blue.

• To turn off the Internet, you can simply lower the blind and turn off Wi-fi and mobile data. And then the smartphone will be isolated from the network. If we are talking about a computer, then you can also turn off Wi-fi or pull out the Internet cable.
• You can also turn on Airplane mode in the top curtain of your smartphone. In this mode, the phone turns off all radio blocks, so there is no Internet either. There is an airplane mode in the computer too.

As soon as the Internet appears on the recipient's device, you will immediately receive a read receipt, even if the WhatsApp application is closed.

In total, there are three statuses that indicate a particular status of the message in WhatsApp:

1. One gray check mark - the message was sent from your device successfully.
