How to Read WhatsApp Messages Without Opening or Notifying Sender
In case you are looking for a way to Read WhatsApp Messages without letting the sender know whether you have read the message, you will find below Three different methods to Read WhatsApp Messages Without Opening or Notifying the sender.
However, sometimes you may have your own reasons for not wanting a particular person to know that you have read his/her message. In such cases, you can actually read WhatsApp messages without opening or notifying the sender by using any of the following methods.
- Use “Unseen App”
- Turn on Airplane Mode and Read Messages
- Disable Read Receipts and Read Messages
1. Use WA last seen an app
In case you are not happy with the limitations of the 2 methods as discussed above, you can make use of an App called “Unseen” to view WhatsApp Messages Without Opening or Notifying the sender.
1. Open Google Play Store on your Android phone or tablet and download the Unseen app.
2. Once the App is downloaded, open the Unseen app on your Android Phone.
3. On the pop-up that appears, tap on Ok to provide Notification Access to Unseen App
2. Turn on Airplane Mode and Read Messages
One way to Read WhatsApp Messages Without Opening the App and sending Read Receipts is to put your phone in Airplane Mode and then read the messages.
1. As soon as you get the WhatsApp message, open Settings on your phone and turn on Airplane Mode.
2. After Enabling Airplane Mode, open WhatsApp on your phone and you will read the WhatsApp Message without generating those Blue Tick Marks.
3. After reading the Message, close WhatsApp while Airplane Mode is still turned ON.
4. After closing WhatsApp, you can disable Airplane Mode on your Phone.
However, make sure that you do not open WhatsApp on your phone, until you are actually ready to reply to the message. Opening WhatsApp will make two blue ticks appear beside the message that you just read offline.
While this method is really simple to use, it prevents you from using WhatsApp until you are ready to reply to the message or convey to your Contact that you have read his/her message.
As soon as you open WhatsApp, those 2 blue ticks will appear beside the message indicating to the sender that the message has been read.
The second method of reading WhatsApp Messages without notifying the sender is to first disable read receipts in your WhatsApp Account and then read the messages.
- Open WhatsApp > tap on the 3 dot-icon located at the top right corner of your screen.
- From the drop-down menu that appears, tap on Settings.
3. Next, tap on Account > Privacy.
On the Privacy screen, scroll down and uncheck the option for Reading Receipts
After disabling Read Receipts, open the WhatsApp Message that you want to read. Since read receipts are already disabled in your WhatsApp, the sender won’t be able to see whether you have read the message.
The disadvantage of this method is that you won’t be able to get read receipts from others, as long as read receipts are disabled in your WhatsApp Account.
