How to disable read receipts for secretly viewing status updates. Many WhatsApp users are curious about their contacts’ status updates, but don’t necessarily want others to know that their status has been viewed.
However, there is a simple trick that allows you to secretly view status updates without your name appearing in the list of viewers.
According to CHIP, the key is to disable read receipts.
Here’s how to do it:
How to Disable Read Receipts
-
Open WhatsApp and navigate to Settings.
-
Go to Privacy.
-
Find the option for Read Receipts (represented by the two blue check marks).
-
Turn off this option.
Once deactivated, you’ll be able to view others’ statuses without being detected.
However, there’s a trade-off: with read receipts off, you won’t be able to see who’s read your messages or viewed your status.
This trick is great for those who prefer to stay under the radar while checking on status updates. When you’re ready to return to normal functionality, simply reactivate the read receipts.
Now, you can enjoy full control over when and how you’re visible on WhatsApp.
