How to make it invisible in WhatsApp that the message was received - briefly?

To make it invisible in WhatsApp that a message has been received, you can disable read receipts for individual chats or for all conversations by adjusting your privacy settings. This feature allows users to control the visibility of their read status and maintain privacy.

How to make it invisible in WhatsApp that the message was received - in detail?

To make it invisible in WhatsApp that a message has been received, users can employ several strategies that alter or conceal their online status and read receipts. Here’s a detailed guide on how to achieve this:

  1. Turn Off Read Receipts:

    • Open WhatsApp.
    • Go to "Settings" (the three dots in the top-right corner for Android, or the gear icon at the bottom for iOS).
    • Select "Account".
    • Tap on "Privacy".
    • Find and toggle off "Read Receipts".

    By turning off read receipts, you prevent others from seeing when you've read their messages. However, note that this setting only affects your ability to see others’ read receipts; it does not hide the blue checkmarks for them when they send you messages.

  2. Use Airplane Mode:

    • Enable Airplane Mode on your device before opening WhatsApp.
    • Read the message within WhatsApp while still in Airplane Mode.
    • Close WhatsApp completely (not just minimizing it).
    • Disable Airplane Mode and wait for the internet connection to re-establish.

    This method tricks WhatsApp into thinking you're offline when you read the message, thus preventing the blue checkmarks from appearing.

  3. Disable Internet Connection:

    • Turn off your Wi-Fi or mobile data before opening and reading the message in WhatsApp.
    • Ensure that WhatsApp is completely closed after reading the message.
    • Re-enable your internet connection.

    Similar to Airplane Mode, this method temporarily disconnects you from the network while you read the message, preventing WhatsApp from sending read receipts.

  4. Use a Different Device or Browser:

    • Read messages using WhatsApp Web or the desktop app instead of your primary phone.
    • Close the browser tab or log out of WhatsApp Web after reading the message.

    This method allows you to read messages without triggering the blue checkmarks on your main device, as long as you do not open WhatsApp on that device afterward.

  5. Delete Messages:

    • After reading a message, quickly delete it before the double checkmarks turn blue.
    • Note that this only works if you are fast enough to delete the message before WhatsApp registers it as read.

By employing these strategies, users can effectively make it invisible in WhatsApp that they have received and read messages, enhancing their privacy and control over their communication activities.
