Finally, WhatsApp puts a blue ticks option in new update
Fret no more! WhatsApp’s blue ticks will no longer be the bone of contention in your relationship.
Whatsapp’s latest feature for Android and iOS — the deadly two blue ticks — notified the sender of a message being sent, delivered and read by the recipient. And the introduction of this feature last week created a panic amongst users.
However, WhatsApp has decided to free its users from the misery. The newest version of WhatsApp allows users to disable the read receipt feature. User can do that by tapping into WhatsApp’s privacy settings and un-checking the read receipt option. Though, once a user disables the blue ticks, they are also unable to see the blue ticks in all their conversations.
The new update is still in its beta version, but is soon expected to be rolled out for all platforms.
