WhatsApp is by far the largest messaging platform in the whole world, it is used by billions of people with iPhone and Android phones at the moment, and for all of them the company behind the platform has a very important recommendation that they should let us all know.
WhatsApp talks below about the way in which we can deactivate the reading confirmations for the messages we receive from other people in conversations, or even in conversation groups, they confirm for other people that we have received, and read, a certain message.
WhatsApp explains below how simple this procedure can be done on iPhone and Android, and after it is done, no one will know if we have read a certain message or not, so we don't have to reply to that message , something that gives us the opportunity to postpone this moment until we want to answer.
However, WhatsApp does not say that when we deactivate this system, we will not be able to see who has read the messages we have sent, and this is because this is how the system was thought from the very beginning by the American company , as a measure to create "equality" between those who deactivate the function, and those who do not.
WhatsApp has been recommending the use of this functionality for a long time to increase the security level of data and conversations, so it is good to look carefully at these recommendations, but it is also good to know what the effects are beyond not sending read confirmations for the messages that are sent to us.
