Disable Blue Ticks Whatsapp Trick

Few month Ago, Whatsapp added a new feature of Reading Receipts. One grey tick meant that the message has been sent, two grey ticks meant that the message has been delivered and two blue ticks meant that the message has been read by the recipient. The new Whatsapp feature of reading receipts was a welcome feature for many people, but it was a nightmare for some. I personally found the feature helpful and I was already loving similar feature on Hike and BBM.

Now Whatsapp is rolling out an update to give its users the choice to disable this feature. Read this post to know how to disable blue ticks right now.

Whastapp was on the receiving end on many online forums where people blamed this feature for jeopardising their relationships and some even claimed the instances of divorce due to divorce. Some people may fail to understand the concern, but this surely is an important factor if you are ignoring someone.

Now Whatsapp has addressed this issue and is worked on it. This update features the option to disable the blue tick (reading receipts) on your phone. All new version after 2.11.452 have new feature in it which can disable read recipient feature.

How To Disable?

1. Open Whatsapp.
2. Go to settings menu un Whatsapp and then proceed to privacy option.
3. Here you will see the Read Receipts option already checked.
4. Now uncheck this option to disable the blue tick.
