Chats and calls

Read receipts and “Show When I’m Typing”

Both are on by default. You turn them off for all chats together, not per chat.

How to do it

  1. Tap You, then the gear at the top left.
  2. Tap Chats.
  3. Turn Read Receipts or Show When I’m Typing off or on.

It works both ways

If you turn off read receipts, you also no longer see whether others have read your messages. The same applies to typing. You always see “Delivered”.
