Woah! Whatsapp BLUE TICKS can be DISABLED- How?

"I know you have read my message on whatsapp and instead of replying, You are lurking around on Facebook and posting statuses?"

Read a comment on my friends post. Though I showed no interest in finding who she was, One thing was clear-BLUE TICKS had started doing the damage we were dreading about! Guess what? It calls them READ RECIEPTS! xD

With this new feature, you could no longer ignore a message or simply excuse yourself by saying, “I read it late” or “just saw your message”. Moreover, it didn’t give you an option to disable the blue ticks feature either! >_<

Wait there is more- the instant messaging site has quickly done some damage-control and added the feature to hide ‘Read Receipts’. Once enabled, people will not see the blue tick marks even if you have read the messages. This would definitely turn out to be a sigh of relief for many. One needs to simply go to the ‘Privacy Settings’ and enable/disable the feature!

As of now, only Android users can download the beta version of the app here that brings the new update. Users will have to manually download the WhatsApp 2.11.44 version as it is only available on the official website and hasn’t been released on Google Play Store.

Android Police has been informed that the new version of WhatsApp will add heads-up notifications on Android 5.0 Lollipop.  There is no word on when iOS and Windows Phone users will get the feature.

FREEDOM! xD
