When you send a WhatsApp message, a single tick indicates that the message has been sent, a double tick indicates that it has been delivered, and when the blue tick changes colour to blue, this signifies that the message has been read by the recipient. For a variety of possible reasons, you may want to disable Read Receipts in WhatsApp. This article shows you how to do it.
In Facebook Messenger, the read receipt works a little differently. When you send a message, a tick in a transparent icon indicates it has been sent, the icon gets a background when the message has delivered, and the tick changes to a small display photo of the recipient when the message is read.
How to disable read receipts in WhatsApp
- Open the WhatsApp app.
- Next, click on the three dots icon in the top-right corner of the screen. Tap on Settings.
- From the Settings screen, go to Account > Privacy.
- Finally, you should see an option called “Read Receipt”. Toggle it off to disable it in individual chats.
That’s all. You can also toggle it back on to activate read receipts whenever you want. But it is important to note that read receipts cannot be disabled for group chats.
How to disable read receipts in Messenger
The Messenger app does not provide users with an option to turn off or disable Read Receipts, so you have to live with it. Perhaps that feature will be made available at a later time.

While Motorola phones are no longer made in the US , and no longer as popular as they used to be, the phone brand is experiencing a rise in market share, thanks to the exit of LG from the smartphone market. According to Canalys, Motorola Mobile, a subsidiary of Lenovo, has experienced a surge in the last one year to take the 3rd spot in the US smartphone market , after Apple in 1st place, and Samsung in 2nd place.
Motorola’s North America shipments rose by a whopping 56% from Q1 2021’s 2.6 million phones to 4 million phones in Q1 2022. The company now has 10% market share. Motorola has effectively filled LG’s shoes in the United States. LG exited the smartphone market in 2021.
Also, finally, the Google Pixel brand made it to the top 5 list, in 5th place behind TCL. Pixel smartphones have not been known to sell in huge numbers. Perhaps that may change soon, as this feat by Google Pixels was a 380% jump. Google might yet take the 4th spot away from TCL, seeing as there is only 1% margin between them.
The top smartphone brands in the US in Q1 2022
- Apple iPhone – 51%
- Samsung Galaxy – 27%
- Motorola – 10%
- TCL – 4%
- Google Pixel – 3%
It is important to note that Apple has consolidated its lead on the American market in Q1 2022, widening the gap between itself and Samsung. As it is, Google Pixel and Motorola were the strongest performing brands of the quarter. Is the Pixel brand finally ready to play with the big boys? Is Motorola back in form or is this a flash performance? Time will tell.
