Hide 'read' status in Facebook messages - how it works!
We all know these days when we have no time and no muse to answer Facebook messages. But stamping them unnoticed as "not read" is not very credible due to the automatic read receipt. We'll show you how to turn off the 'Read' feature - However, this is only possible with the help of an app or add-on!
Disable for computer:
If you surf on Facebook using Google Chrome, you can add the add-on Facebook 'Unseen' in the 'Chrome Web Store'. Thus, through the installed add-on the 'read' function of the chat can be hidden. 'Unseen' is actually designed for Chrome, but there is also an add-on 'Unseen' for Firefox users.
Disable for Android devices:
Messages can be read via the free app 'Privy Chat for Facebook', without the conversation partner seeing it. If you send yourself a message, the app connects to Facebook and only then the 'read' status is transmitted.
However, the app does not replace the messenger, because only existing conversations can be answered. New messages can not be written. There is no solution for iOS so far.
