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”.
