Similar to some other social media platforms, Messenger also supports users to turn off the read receipt feature to enhance the user experience in some cases. This feature is very useful but not well-known, let’s find out!
How to turn off read receipts on Messenger
Step 1: You need to update the Messenger app to the latest version > Open the Messenger app.
Step 2: Tap on the Menu with the icon of three horizontal lines > Tap on Settings with the gear icon.
Step 3: Swipe to choose Privacy & Safety > Tap on Read Receipts.
Step 4: Toggle to the Off state in the Show Read Receipts section. When you turn off this feature, people won’t know when you read their messages, and you won’t know when they read your messages.

With just a few simple steps above, you can turn off read receipts on Messenger so that no one can know you have read their messages. Save and do it now. Good luck!
