As we all may already know, Whatsapp now has a feature that allows the sender of a whatsapp message to know when his/her message is read by the receiver. The message sender knows that his/her message is read by the reciever when the double check icon in the bottom-right corner of the Whatsapp message bubble changes from gray to blue. This might seem like a good feature. It makes it easier to keep track of a conversation on Whatsapp. But, some users (myself included) feel that this feature is a privacy breach. Thankfully, there is an option to disable it, even though there is a tradeoff. How to disable Whatsapp's blue tick marks If you cannot find the option given below, it's most likely because you have an old version of Whatsapp installed. Download the latest version from Whatsapp.com. 1. Open Whatsapp and goto Settings >Account > Privacy
2. Uncheck the "Read recipients" option.
That's it. You have successfully disabled the blue tick marks on your Whatsapp messages. Now when you read a Whatsapp message, no information about it is sent to the server or to the sender. The sender will not know that you have seen or read the message. The Bad thing about disabling read recipients If you disable read recipients on your Whatsapp, you'll also not be able to see receipts for messages sent by you. If you want to see blue tick marks on messages sent by you, then you must allow others to see blue tick marks when you read their messages. So it's like give and take. Quite unfortunate, isn't it?
