How to Disable WhatsApp Read Receipt for Voice and Group Messages?

Is it possible to hide read receipts on a voice message? I have noticed that when I play audio messages a blue tick appears. In other words, is there is any way to disable Read Receipts for group chats or Play Receipts for Voice?

Check marks will appear next to each message you send. Here is what each one indicates:

  • WhatsApp single tick markMessage successfully sent.
  • WhatsApp double  tick markMessage successfully delivered to the recipient's phone.
  • WhatsApp double blue tick mark - read receiptThe recipient has read your message.

In a group chat, the second check mark will appear when all participants in the group have received your message. The two blue check marks will appear when all participants in the group have read your message.

You cannot disable the read receipts for group chats or play receipts for voice messages. There's no way to turn these settings off.

To turn off Read Receipts for other messages, please do the following:

  • Go to Settings
  • Account
  • Privacy
  • Disable Read Receipts.
