How to make it invisible in WhatsApp that the message has been read - in detail?

To ensure that your messages on WhatsApp remain unread, you can employ several strategies, each suited to different scenarios and devices. Here is a detailed guide on how to achieve this:

For Android Users:

  1. Disable Read Receipts:

    • Open WhatsApp.
    • Go to "Settings" by tapping the three dots in the upper right corner.
    • Navigate to "Account."
    • Select "Privacy."
    • Toggle off "Read Receipts."

  2. Use Airplane Mode:

    • Enable Airplane Mode on your device.
    • Open WhatsApp and read the message.
    • Close WhatsApp before disabling Airplane Mode. This method prevents WhatsApp from sending a read receipt until you reconnect to the internet.

For iPhone Users:

  1. Disable Read Receipts:

    • Go to "Settings" on your device.
    • Select "WhatsApp."
    • Toggle off "Read Receipts."

  2. Use Airplane Mode:

    • Enable Airplane Mode on your iPhone.
    • Open WhatsApp and read the message.
    • Close WhatsApp before disabling Airplane Mode. This method also prevents WhatsApp from sending a read receipt until you reconnect to the internet.

For Web and Desktop Users:

  1. Disable Read Receipts:

    • Open WhatsApp Web or Desktop.
    • Click on the three dots in the upper right corner.
    • Select "Settings."
    • Navigate to "Account."
    • Choose "Privacy."
    • Toggle off "Read Receipts."

  2. Use InPrivate/Incognito Mode:

    • Open an InPrivate or Incognito window in your web browser.
    • Access WhatsApp Web and read the message.
    • Close the InPrivate/Incognito window after reading the message. This method ensures that no read receipt is sent, as the session is not linked to your regular browsing history.

Additional Tips:

  • Avoid Blue Ticks: If you don't want the sender to see blue ticks (which indicate that the message has been delivered), make sure your phone is off or not connected to the internet when the message is sent.
  • Use Third-Party Apps: Some third-party apps claim to hide read receipts, but be cautious as these may violate WhatsApp's terms of service and could potentially compromise your privacy and security.

By following these steps, you can effectively manage the visibility of your message status on WhatsApp, ensuring that your messages remain unread as per your preferences.
