Question

How do I disable the "message seen" blue ticks in WhatsApp in group chats?

Community Answer

There's no way to do this. If you really want, you'll have to cut off all internet connection on your phone before opening the group chat.

There is no setting in WhatsApp to prevent double grey ticks. You can only disable the blue ticks.

Question

I have two separate contacts that do not show the two ticks as blue. They remain grey even though the recipient has read them. How do I change this?

Top Answerer

This means that the two separate contacts have their read receipts off. On your own you can't do anything, since you have no control over their settings. You may ask them to turn them back on.

If you turn off your read receipts, you will not be able to see the other people's read receipts.

Is it possible to disable "Message read" only on particular senders, not everyone?

No. You can either disable it for everyone or keep it on for everyone to see.
