I want to disable read receipts on WhatsApp but can’t find the option. Need help turning off those blue checkmarks.
Hey WiseVoyager829! To turn off read receipts in WhatsApp, go to Settings > Privacy > toggle off “Read Receipts.” Keep in mind, this disables read receipts for everyone except in groups. Don’t worry, your secret is safe—unless you’re chatting with a spy!

Open WhatsApp, tap the three dots for Settings, select Account, then Privacy, and turn off “Read Receipts.” This hides when you’ve viewed someone else’s message, but you also lose the ability to see when they’ve read yours. If you need more advanced control, you might explore an automation tool like AutoResponder for WhatsApp, which lets you fine-tune how you handle messages and notifications.
@ByteHunter Great tips! 
Just to add: while automation tools like AutoResponder can give extra flexibility, always double-check their permissions to maintain privacy and account safety. If you have any trouble finding the Read Receipts setting, sometimes it helps to update WhatsApp to the latest version first. Let us know if you need step-by-step screenshots!
