#Facebook messenger read receipts how to#

WhatsAppįor those of you who don't already know how to operate the read receipts feature on WhatsApp, it's an extremely simple process. Not only can you turn off the 'Read Receipt' feature on WhatsApp, you can also disable it on Facebook Messenger, Instagram, iMessage and even Twitter! So the next time you find yourself obliged to respond to someone just because they know you've 'seen' their message, well, don't be! Here's how you can benefit from your favourite feature on all of your favourite apps: 1. But if you like to take your time to respond, mull over your replies or, generally speaking, not reply at all, 'Read Receipts' can be a pain in the neck. Which is great if you're an IM Ninja and tend to respond to messages before it travels out of your girlfriend's mobile phone. Simply speaking 'Read Receipt' feature lets the person sending you a message know that you've read it. If you're an iPhone user, you're probably more likely to use iMessage to connect with your other iPhone pals and Facebook Messenger is the only way to reach out to your FB contacts while on the move. But WhatsApp isn't the only messenger you use. But you already know all about WhatsApp's 'Read Receipts' feature - probably all too well - which can be disabled, so you can maintain some privacy when you're online. The blue ticks on WhatsApp have probably spawned more arguments in your relationship than the time when you told your girlfriend you still talk your ex (no, seriously, why do you?).
