WhatsApp has several hidden features which we are sure you don’t know about. Did you know WhatsApp lets you view your contact’s Status without actually letting them know? Surprised right? The Facebook owned instant messaging platform introduced Read receipt feature few years ago and that also lets you secretly check someone’s WhatsApp Status.
If you want to check someone’s WhatsApp Status without actually letting them know, we will tell you the trick today. Here’s how to secretly check someone’s WhatsApp Status.
How to secretly check someone’s WhatsApp Status
It should be noted that the process to check someone’s WhatsApp Status without letting them know is the same for both iOS and Android users.
-Open WhatsApp app on your mobile device – Android or iOS
-Head to the Settings menu
-Next click on Privacy option there
-Next, disable Read receipt feature from there.
Once the feature is disabled, your contacts will not be able to see when you view their WhatsApp Status. In fact, this works the other way round as well. Once the read receipt feature is enabled, you will also not able to see who viewed your WhatsApp Status.
The feature works in the similar manner for WhatsApp messages as well. Once the read receipt feature is disabled, your contacts will not be able to see blue ticks or know whether you read their message or not. This also works the other way round, in simple words, with read receipt disabled, you will not be able to see if a contact read your message, you sent them on WhatsApp.
So, if you can deal with not knowing who read your messages and viewed your Status, go ahead and disable the read receipt option on WhatsApp now.
