The ‘Read receipts’ feature, which allows users to check if their messages have been read, can be disabled now. Much to the consternation of users, Whatsapp had introduced ‘blue tick marks’ against messages that have been read.
Here’s how you disable the feature:
1. Download the latest update of Whatsapp >here
2. Once installed, goto settings>Account>Privacy
3. Uncheck ‘Read receipts’
Whatsapp has released this feature for Android OS alone.
