How to disable the WhatsApp blue double check on Android

Android users can now disable the blue double check in WhatsApp. The corresponding update for the app is now available from Google Play.

Do you want to know how to disable it? Follow these steps:

  • From the latest version of the app, go to ‘Settings‘
  • Then go to ‘Account‘
  • Next ‘Privacy‘
  • And finally, unselect ‘Read receipts’.

Don’t forget though, that if you disable read receipts, you won’t be able to see when your messages are read either.
