do you turn on read reciepts in your messaging apps? - eviltoast

I dont use read reciepts on WhatsApp. I keep it off. So I cannot see if a person has read my message or the sender of a message cannot see Ihave read their message. Status update views are also hidden.

Other messaging apps also have this feature. I personally don’t like it. Do you?

    Fuck no. I prefer my privacy and I also don’t want people getting offended if I read something but don’t feel like responding to it immediately. I would also turn off the three little dots that say I’m typing if I could.

      I legit hate the typing dots, especially since uasualy if i dont respond im busy or thinking of a reply… and the three dots makes it feel like theres an expectation to reply right then. Also i have a friend that gets offended/internalizes it (yes they have some issues ha) which makes me just not open them till very late in the day
