Do you though? Because people on the other end will often demand you respond to them if you have your mobile phone with you. This is why people consider it a leash.

- wkat4242 3y agoBecause they see you're active on WhatsApp or telegram :) I switched off the blue tickmarks in WhatsApp and even that really triggered people.
- gruez 3y agoCan't you just read messages from the Notification Center if you want to avoid it showing up as "read"?

- gruez 3y agoYou mean the message contents, or that you received a notification at all? On both ios and android you should be able to configure the notification so the contents are not shown, so it shows that there's a notification from whatsapp but not the message itself.
