I dont use read reciepts on WhatsApp. I keep it off. So I cannot see if a person has read my message or the sender of a message cannot see Ihave read their message. Status update views are also hidden.

Other messaging apps also have this feature. I personally don’t like it. Do you?

    I don’t need to know if message was read so i disable it for my own privacy.

    Besides, I think they’re pointless in my case. I usually read the message in the notification and reply or dismiss it without opening the app, and the apps usually don’t record these interactions as “read”.

    Yes they’re on. They tend to be default on.

    Getting offended is a you-problem that didn’t afflict anyone born last century.

    Fuck no. I prefer my privacy and I also don’t want people getting offended if I read something but don’t feel like responding to it immediately. I would also turn off the three little dots that say I’m typing if I could.

      I legit hate the typing dots, especially since uasualy if i dont respond im busy or thinking of a reply… and the three dots makes it feel like theres an expectation to reply right then. Also i have a friend that gets offended/internalizes it (yes they have some issues ha) which makes me just not open them till very late in the day

    Claiming to have missed a message is ~1/4 of all the messages I send. I’m not about to provide proof that I’m lying.

      We do know anyways that you’re lying because the phone is always in your pocket. The lying makes you just look bad. But that’s on you.

    Yes I do, I don’t mind that people see that I read their message and I like to see when others read mine. But if someone ever tells me I should have reacted because I’ve read it, it’s their fault.
