Todo el mundo está familiarizado con esta situación: ha llegado un mensaje, quiero leerlo, pero no hay posibilidad ni ganas de contestar de inmediato.
En este caso, acuden al rescate pequeños trucos y programas especiales que permiten conocer el contenido de la carta para que el interlocutor no se haya enterado y no se haya quedado ofendido por la falta de atención.
Una forma para todos los mensajeros instantáneos
La opción más sencilla y obvia es leer los mensajes en la barra de notificaciones del smartphone.
- En iOS, hay que deslizar el dedo hacia la izquierda según el mensaje en el panel y pulsar «Ver».
- En Android: el texto es visible en la «cortina» que cae.
Cierto es que de esta forma sólo se podrán ver en su totalidad breves réplicas del interlocutor.
How to quietly read messages in Viber
Viber allows you to disable reports on viewing messages in the official application.
Enough for this:
- Go to the «Settings» menu.
- Select «Privacy».
- Disable the Watched option.
The function is available only in the mobile version, however, if you activate it from the phone, the changes will be valid on all devices.
How to quietly read messages on WhatsApp
By default, the messenger notifies all participants of the correspondence about the status of chat messages.
A system with checkmarks is used to indicate:
- one sent;
- two – delivered;
- gray is replaced by blue – read.
Disabling this function is possible only in dialogs, in group chats the system remains unchanged.
In the mobile application you need to go to the «Settings» section, then select:
- «Account» (account).
- “Privacy” (“Confidentiality”).
- Toggle the toggle switch in the «Read Reports» field.
After that, WhatsApp will no longer highlight read messages in blue.
If you change the setting in the mobile application, the new settings will also apply on the computer.
Desktop widget for whatsapp
To secretly read a message on WhatsApp, you can install a special widget on your smartphone’s desktop.
The application allows you to open text messages without restrictions on the number of characters.
However, you won’t be able to see a photo or listen to audio through it.
To add a widget, you must:
- Hold a blank area of the screen for a few seconds.
- Select «Widgets».
- In the list that appears, find the WhatsApp widget.
- Drag it to the desktop.
The method is available only to Android users.
Airplane Mode
If, before you open a message, turn off the Internet on your smartphone or put it into airplane mode, WhatsApp will not be able to send a read notification.
However, when resuming access to the network, an alert to the interlocutor will still be delivered.
You can solve the problem this way: after reading the message, exit the dialogue and touch the necessary one in the chat list.
Press until the message “Mark as unread” appears.
Then you can turn off the “Airplane” mode.
Cheers!
