WhatsApp blue tick mark Disable

         WhatsApp is the most popular messaging app for smart phones. That's why Facebook bought it as we all know about it. So, after all these days, from last week onwards we can experience a new feature in WhatsApp which is the blue tick mark. So, what does the tick marks mean in WhatsApp?

WhatsApp tick marks-explained

• Single Tick      :   Message has been sent. But not yet received by the receiver
• Double Tick    :   Message has been received by the receiver. But not yet read
• Blue Ticks      :   Message has been read by the receiver

Is this Good or Bad?

       It is based on the people. Actually, I love this new feature and I guess this makes a relationship genuine. And we don't get angry with our friends for not replying to us since we exactly know whether the message has been read or not. But most people does not love this as this crisis was arised when WhatsApp introduce Last Seen feature. So, they made Last Seen feature as optional.

      For you guys, who don't wanna send acknowledgement about reading sender's message, the Blue Tick marks would be also optional in future update.

How to disable Blue tick marks

1. Airplane Mode

      If you don't wanna get caught by your friend for reading their msg but not replying them, just put your mobile on airplane mode or simply disable WiFi or mobile data whatever you are using after receiving the message. After disabling, read that message and the sender won't get blue ticks until you turn on WiFi or mobile data again.

2.Snowball Beta

     This is an android app which let's you to see all messages in one place and you can reply to them from one place. When I say all messages, I mean all the messages from all the messaging apps like Facebook, WhatsApp, Line etc. By messaging your buddies from this app, they won't see blue tick marks. Unfortunately, it is not available in all countries, even I can't test it. 

3.  WhatsApp Beta

     As I said earlier, WhatsApp is gonna make this blue tick optional, they actually did it and released it as a beta. You can't get in on play store. But you can get it from WhatsApp website. Download and install it. Don't forget to enable 'Unknown Sources' in Settings->Security before installing.

Go to Settings->Privacy and then uncheck the 'Read receipts' check box

As you can see in the image that, just like you can't see other people's Last Seen timestamp when you disable your Last Seen feature, Blue tick marks also won't appear for you when other people read your messages if you uncheck the Read receipts box.

So, what do you guys think about this new feature? Is ti good or bad? At least or you :) .

Would you uncheck this box when you get an update?
