📌 Turning Off “Read Receipts” in Private Chats
WhatsApp offers an option to turn off Read Receipts in private chats:
✅ Open WhatsApp Settings ⚙️
✅ Navigate to Privacy 🔒
✅ Toggle Off the “Read Receipts” option ❌👉 However, this does NOT apply to group chats! 😱 But don’t worry—we have two powerful hacks that work! 👇
⚡ Method 1: The Search Trick (Works on iPhone & Android)
Search & Preview Messages 🔍
💡 This method works on both Android & iPhone 📱
This clever technique allows you to read all group messages without entering the chat:
- 📱 Open WhatsApp and ensure you have the latest version
- 🔍 Tap the search icon in the top-right corner
- ⌨️ Type the exact name of the group you want to monitor
- 👀 View all messages in chronological order without triggering read receipts
⚠️ Warning: While using this method, group members won’t see blue ticks, but they might notice if you’re “online” when they check the app.
🚀 Pro Tip: Other members may still see you “online” if they open the chat. 😬
🤖 Method 2: Widget Trick (Android Only)
This Android-exclusive method provides a stealthy way to preview messages:
- 👆 Long-press on an empty area of your home screen
- 🧩 Select “Widgets” from the menu
- 📲 Find and select the “4 x 1 WhatsApp” widget
- 📍 Drag and place it on your home screen
- 🔄 Expand the widget to view unread messages
⚠️ Important: Don’t tap on any conversations in the widget, as this will open WhatsApp and show blue ticks!
🌟 Bonus Method: Airplane Mode Technique (2025 Update)
A newer method gaining popularity:
- ✈️ Turn on Airplane Mode
- 📱 Open WhatsApp and read messages
- 🔄 Force close WhatsApp completely (swipe up on iPhone, recent apps → close on Android)
- 📶 Turn off Airplane Mode
This method prevents WhatsApp from sending read receipts when you reconnect!
