The double blue check has reached WhatsApp, and seems to do more harm than good. And it is that a good legion of users have begun to protest through social networks when they saw that their privacy was compromised after updating your application. We must not forget the clamorous welcome before the function to be able to hide the Last connection, which is now totally deprecated when the is displayed double blue check and the information of when a received message has been readAnd it is that, the picaresque and the power to avoid answering instantly could come to an end. However, there are various methods to avoid this.
The first one, more general and somewhat more radical but effective is avoid the last update of WhatsApp And the fact is that the double blue check has arrived thanks to a new version of this messaging application for both terminals Android as for iPhone Of course, WhatsApp It is customary to force its users to update if they want to continue using the service after a few days after an update has been released. And it is that, apart from the new functionalities, security improvements and bug fixes Therefore, it can be a preventive and temporary measure before the appearance of this dreaded double blue checkThe good thing is that users who don't update their application can see that their sent messages have been read, however, their interlocutors will continue to see only thedouble gray check
Another valid option for Android and iPhone users is to use Airplane mode of your terminals. This feature allows to cut all connection of the terminal with the Internet and the outside world, which implies not sending or receiving signals. Thus, the user, after receiving a new message without wanting to prove that he has read it, must activate airplane mode and enter WhatsApp After having read it, all that remains is to exit the messaging application and deactivate the mode Plane Connections are reestablished without any record that the user has gone through the chat, or that they have read the message or, of course, that the is reflected double blue check Of course, this is a significant waste of time, because reactivating connections takes time and patience.
Apart from these two issues, Android terminal users have two more options to read all your messages received without the interlocutors knowing Ways that are quite convenient considering that these are functions of the application:
On the one hand there is the possibility of activate pop-up notifications from the menu Settings of the application. With this, a window appears every time a message is received, being able to see the content and having the option of replying from it. Of course, the double check of the interlocutor remains in gray until the user start typing a reply So, if you want to avoid knowing when a message has been read, you It is better to close this popup window after reading the content.
On the other hand, there is the convenient and practical widget or shortcut of WhatsApp And is that users of Android devices can place on the desktop this window to receive in it all the messages of the chats. All you have to do is make a long press on a space on the desktop, access the Widgets menu and choose that of WhatsApp Here it is possible to see all the messages received from the different chats, bothindividual as groups In addition, it allows you to change the size of the widget , being able to extend it to the entire desktop for greater comfort. All of this without the double blue check appearing at any time until you explicitly enter the conversation.
There is an alternative possibility, even more remote. This would be to use the wearables devices available with Android Wear, i.e. smartwatches such as the Samsung Gear Live, Motorola Moto 360 or LG G Watch to read received messages. A comfortable way, considering that they go directly to the wrist, but it makes avoiding this acknowledgment somewhat surreal and excessive.
