Last week WhatsApp introduced ‘read receipts’ in the form of 2 blue ticks, allowing users understand if their message, image or video had been seen by their friend. WhatsApp is now introducing the choice to disable this feature if they need to stay the nagging out of their conversations.
It’s solely accessible to android users who have downloaded the new beta version of the app, however those who have can reach Settings > Privacy > and disable the ‘Read Receipts’ choice to vanish the blue ticks, after you go through other people’s messages.
The update was initially noticed by Android Police, and lots of fellows were not excited by the inclusion of this feature.
Though there were many comments made by Max and they are as follows:
“We’ve reached a stage where we’re supposed to be instantly contactable all the time,” wrote Max Benwell on the subject. “We’re reproached if we leave our phones in another room because we don’t want to be distracted, or frowned at if we switch on airplane mode.” He also quoted: “Although part of me loves the fact that I can reach my friends all around the world almost immediately, there are times when I long for silence.”
Like Max, if you would like to retain slight of your privacy and not be forced to reply to each to message, image or the text, in the fraction of second you see it, you’ll be able to install the update from WhatsApp’s Official site and anticipate it to pick up your data through App Store and Google Play!
