So much excitement around two blue checkmarks: The new “read” - function of
WhatsApp annoys many users. Now the spook could be soon already again past.
Hamburg - read or not read? Owing to a new function the question for WhatsApp
users took care of itself since short one. Two blue checkmarks show that the
addressee saw the message. That had provided for much displeasure among the
users. So far it had given only two grey checkmarks, which signaled that a
message had been set. Over the innovation many users did not have themselves
weighted, finally are valid thereby the excuse “Ups, message not seen” any
longer. But that could change soon again.
Therefore behave the reading confirmation in the future like those originally
likewise very disputed announcement “last online”: The user can decide whether
its status the other one is to be shown. If it decides against it, he cannot see
the attitude also with his communication partners to no more. Who wants not to
thus let show the fact that he read the message of a friend does not see also
more whether the own reports were viewed.
Also “chip” reports of the innovations. Therefore the Dutch blog DroidApp writes
that on the translation platform of the app an appropriate line emerged, which
suggests a deactivation function. The entry means the report according to on
German about: “If you the reading confirmation switch off, you the reading
confirmations of other people will not any longer see”.
The attitude is to be able to be changed under the menu option “privacy”. Pektas
continues to write, the innovation “read” - function is de-energized with the
WhatsApp version 2.11.14 for iOS.
