There are times when you do not want to go online or get involved in an unwanted conversation on

WhatsApp

. But also, you don’t want to skip updates and become completely ignorant of what’s being said or talked about. In situations like these, you wish for a feature or a work-around through which you can read incoming messages without actually opening the chat or letting the sender know that you have read a particular message. Well, there are both official and unofficial ways to do so. Let’s take a look
The official way- Turn off the Blue tick settings
If you do not want the sender to know whether you have read a message or not, then turn off the Read Receipts feature in your WhatsApp Setting. But remember, it’s a two-way street. If you turn off the Read Receipt, not only the sender but you too will not be able to know if he/she has read the message.
Steps to turn off Read Receipts

Trick one- Read message through the notification bar
When a

WhatsApp message

arrives on your locked phone screen, do not swipe it away. Unlock your phone and press down the notification bar. You will see WhatsApp messages along with other phone notifications. Tap and hold on the WhatsApp message. It will expand and the user will be able to read the message without actually opening the chat. This way, you can fool the sender into thinking that you have not read the message.
Trick two- View WhatsApp in Airplane mode
When you receive a message on WhatsApp, turn on Airplane mode on your smartphone. This will turn off Wi-Fi and Mobile data on your device. You can now go to WhatsApp and read chat messages. This way the sender will not be notified or shown any blue ticks if you have Read Receipt turned on. Remember to close WhatsApp before disabling the airplane mode on your device.
Trick three- Add WhatsApp to widget card on home screen
Android smartphone users can add WhatsApp widget cards to their home screen. This way they can read incoming messages from contacts on WhatsApp without opening the app. Readers must note that tapping on the chat shown in the widget will open WhatsApp. So they should avoid tapping on the chat if they do not want the sender to know they have read the message.
Trick four- WhatsApp web users can simply hover over a chat to read the last message
For those who use WhatsApp on their laptop, they can also fool the sender and read messages without opening them. Simply hover on the contact’s chat whose message you want to read. This will show you a floating bubble with the entire message. Note that the trick works only for the last message received in the chat.

How to Secretly Read a WhatsApp Without the Sender Knowing

WhatsApp has one unique feature that allows the sender to acknowledge if the receiver has seen the WhatsApp message. Ever wonder what does one check mark mean on WhatsApp? It only tells that the mobile sent the text, but it did not receive it on the other side. Whereas two blue check marks on WhatsApp on the chat confirm viewing the message.

But what if you accidentally opened the message and did not want to reply then and there? This instance may create misunderstanding in the sender's mind. It is where reading someone's chat in privacy gets handy.

Following are some foolproof tips and tricks to help you read messages in WhatsApp without the sender knowing.

Method 1: Disable last seen option

It is the official way to read WhatsApp messages while staying offline on Android and iPhone. When you disable the Last Seen and WhatsApp Read Receipts options, the sender will never know if you read any message.

Here is how to disable Last Seen and Read Receipt option:

  • Step 1: Launch the latest version of WhatsApp.
  • Step 2: On iPhone, see the lower right bar to find the Settings option. For Android, tap on three dots to open Settings.
  • Step 3: Head to Account, the Privacy, and uncheck Read Receipt. Just do not forget to choose Nobody in the Last Seen setting.

With this option disabled, you will also be unable to see others' Last Seen statuses.

Method 2: Read directly from the notification panel

You can also read messages in WhatsApp from the notification panel and reply directly without troubling to open the app on both Android and iPhone. 

But there is a limitation in this option. You can not see lengthy messages or view pictures, videos, documents, etc. The notification panel only shows a chunk of the text message.

Here is how you can read and reply directly:

  • Step 1: Open the WhatsApp app.
  • Step 2: Open Settings.
  • Step 3: Scroll to see the Notification setting and enable Show Notification and Show Preview.
  • Step 4: Exit the app.
  • Step 5: Whenever someone sends you a message, it will appear on the notification panel to read and reply.

Method 3: Track someone's chat messages secretly

This trick is 100% invisible. KidsGuard is an app developed for Android and iPhone users that benefits from tracking someone's WhatsApp chat without letting others know about it. Let it be your partner or kid.

Besides tracking received, sent, or deleted messages, it also offers the facility to have live screenshots of the chat going on. Not only chats, but you can also track videos, images, documents from this app.

  • Step 1: Register your account by entering your email and acquiring the license to enable the feature.
  • Step 2: Download the KidsGuard app on the desired device via www. installapk.net and configure the settings. 

Also, save your phone data to computer by using a great tool that insures your information is saved and you can access and recover it anytime you like.

Method 4: Read from android WhatsApp widget

Another option to read WhatsApp messages secretly is to use an Android widget. Since it does not require opening the official WhatsApp, WhatsApp blue tick will not appear in the application. Add this widget to your home screen and see and read messages secretly. 

But you can not view photos, videos, or documents here. You still need to open the official WhatsApp app. Another downside of this feature is you can not view all chats messages in the widget. The widget option only selects individual conversations to display on the home screen.

Here is how to read chats via a widget on an Android phone: 

  • Step 1: Press and hold anywhere on the home screen of Android mobile.
  • Step 2: Find the widget option and tap on it.
  • Step 3: Now search for the WhatsApp chat widget. Press and long-hold it to bring it to the home screen.

Method 5: Read messages with airplane mode turned on

There is a misconception among Android and iPhone users that you can read WhatsApp messages secretly by turning on airplane mode. But the bitter truth is that it merely delays the Read Receipt. Once you send the message via this trick and disable your airplane mode, it will send the Read Receipt to the receiver. 

The only benefit of this trick is that it buys time to think about what reply is suitable for this message.

If you want to avail this trick, here is how to do it:

  • Step 1: Once you receive the message, swipe down the notification panel and turn on airplane mode.
  • Step 2: Now read the chat and turn back on the Airplane mode. 
  • Step 3: Once you turn it on, WhatsApp sends the Read Receipt message to the receiver.

Method 6: Read messages via iphone 3d touch

If you are an iPhone user, you can read WhatsApp messages secretly with the 3D Touch feature. It allows previewing the shorter chats. But the 3D Touch function is available on iPhone 6s or later versions.

It is how you can do it:

  • Step 1: Launch WhatsApp but do not enter any chat.
  • Step 2: Click and long-press chat you want to read.
  • Step 3: A window will open to peek within the conversation without opening the message.
  • Step 4: Just remember to click outside of the small window. Otherwise, you will enter the chat inbox and trigger Read Receipt.

Again, you can not preview long messages by using this option. You will have to open WhatsApp to view them.

Conclusion:

Reading WhatsApp messages in secrecy provides privacy to work without disturbance. Also, it buys you some time to think about what reply to give.  

If you are busy working or sleeping after a tiring day, you may get annoyed by multiple notifications. It is a disappointing situation. So, in this case, enabling this option will offer some space away from people.

When you open a new message in WhatsApp from an interlocutor, two blue checkmarks appear in the messenger of the latter on this sent SMS. This means that the SMS has been read. But what if you don't want to see this message yet, but you still want to read it? nine0003

There are 4 tricks that will allow you to read a message without marking it as read.

Blocking the sending of notifications about viewing through the application settings

Before you read the message, you can turn off in your WhatsApp settings the sending of a report on viewing by you "sms". How to do it in Android:

  1. Click on the three dots at the top right. Choose from the settings menu.
  2. Click on the account section. Open the block with privacy settings. nine0042
  3. Uncheck the Read Receipts line.
In the privacy settings of your account, turn off reports

The disadvantage of this method is that you will not be able to see whether your interlocutors have read your messages or not.

How to turn off reports in WhatsApp on iPhone:

  1. Go to the bottom of the last item "Settings" with a gear image. Open your account settings.
  2. Go to privacy settings. Scroll down to the Reports section. nine0042
  3. Turn it off using the toggle switch on the right.
Deactivate the "Read reports" item

Turn off the Internet before reading

A simple life hack for those who do not want to turn off viewing reports in the settings: before opening a dialogue with a new message from the interlocutor, turn off the Internet on your phone. How to quickly do it on Android: swipe the top curtain with notifications and icons and click on the Wi-Fi icon, mobile Internet (Data Transfer) or on the airplane icon to turn on airplane mode - then all networks will immediately become inaccessible. nine0003 On the notification bar, tap on the icon of your current internet

When you open a message, the phone will not be able to send a browsing report to the WhatsApp server.

But here you need to remember: the phone can send a report as soon as it gets internet access again.

To prevent this, you can do the following:

  1. Return to the dialog list. Press the desired correspondence with your finger.
  2. In the menu, tap on "Mark as unread". nine0042
  3. After that, turn on the Internet on your smartphone again.
Mark the conversation as unread

Reading messages through a widget on the desktop

A special widget for WhatsApp was created for Android, with which you can watch messages in full without fear of turning them into read. The downside of the method is that the widget only supports text messages and emoticons.

You can open a voice message, video or picture only in the interface of the messenger itself - here you already need to use either the first or the second method described above. nine0071

How to put the WhatsApp widget on the Android home screen:

  1. Hold any empty space on the Desktop.
  2. The smartphone will vibrate - click on the widgets and select "WhatsApp". Or just scroll down the bottom bar and find the WhatsApp widget there with a size of 4 x 2 * (if your Android is higher than version 5). It is automatically added to this list when you install the messenger on your phone.
  3. Drag the widget to the desired home screen. From now on, all messages that come to your WhatsApp will be displayed in its window (as a whole, and not just a part). nine0042
Install the Whatsapp widget on your desktop

Reading through notifications on the lock screen

The most trivial and inconvenient way to watch sms without noticing is through notifications that come to your phone after receiving a new letter in WhatsApp. At the same time, you must have these notifications enabled in your phone settings before receiving the message. How to enable them on Android:

  1. Go to settings. Click on "Applications". nine0042
  2. Find your WhatsApp in the "All" or "Third Party" list. Click on an item.
  3. Check the box next to "Enable notifications" at the very top.
Activate notifications for WhatsApp

How to enable notifications for messages in the interface of WhatsApp itself on iPhone:

  1. Switch to the section with the gear at the bottom.
  2. Go to "Notifications".
  3. Activate the sending of system messages about receiving new "sms" in "Vatsap". nine0042
Make the "Show notifications" checkbox gray

The disadvantage of this method is that it is impossible to read the entire message. If you click on this notification by accident, the phone will open a dialogue with a new SMS. The person will mark it as read. Also, in this case, you will not be able to listen to audio SMS, view a video or a picture.

A very small part of the message will also be visible in the line of the dialogue itself when you see the list of all chats, but it may only intrigue you to open the chat.
