Other tricks so that the sender does not know that you have read their messages

Note that these techniques work on Android and IOS

• Activate airplane mode

Another clever way to see messages without notifying the person concerned is to switch your Smartphone to airplane mode, then read the message.

Airplane mode disables any WiFi or data connection, so WhatsApp will not be able to alert the sender. On the other hand, when you leave airplane mode, the chat will automatically update and your contact will then see the blue checkmarks.

• Through the notification bar

When a WhatsApp message arrives,  you can read it directly through the notification bar preview .

– On Android, press the bar and drag it down with your finger. Once the notifications from all your applications are displayed, slowly press the WhatsApp message, to block it on the screen and read it)

– On iOS, just swipe to show the whole bar and all messages received on WhatsApp will appear.

Take care not to click on the message, as this will open the WhatsApp application. If it detects you inside, it will let your contact know that you have read their message.
