You can use a trick if the other person does not want to see the blue ticks immediately.
If you have received a new WhatsApp message from acquaintances, friends or family, then you are facing a dilemma: you do not have time to respond properly to others, you still want to read the message. The problem with this is that the person you are talking to will show a blue tick when they read the message, so they know the message has arrived and is open and may be annoyed that the other person did not respond directly. So what to do
There are many ways to read news on iOS, even download images sent without WhatsApp showing blue ticks.
How it works
If you have enabled WhatsApp messages on your Apple Watch, you can respond to them on your Smart Watch. But the application sees this as an open message and the other person is shown a blue tick accordingly. However, if you only saw the message and did not respond, the message will be delivered to the other person, but not yet read, meaning it will be marked with two gray dicks.
How it works: Option 1
On iOS, you can read WhatsApp messages in full, download sent pictures, open shared links, and reply to messages – your conversation partner can no longer see any blue ticks. Here’s the simple trick: you can do this with the messages that iOS sends with each new message. If you receive a new message, you can press and hold the new message banner without switching directly to WhatsApp. IOS offers an option to respond to this immediately. Once you get an image, you can download and watch it. If a link in the message is copied, you can confidently click on it and send it to the associated application, the message is still classified as delivered and not yet classified as read.
Zoom in
If you receive a new WhatsApp message, press and hold the notification on the lock screen. This hides the responsiveness option. However, the other side did not see the blue eaters.
Zoom in
You can download images and respond to them in the same way. On the opposite side, you can still see only the gray hooks.
How it works: Option 2
You can also preview the messages directly on WhatsApp. Simply switch to chat overview and long press on the newly arrived message: The app also shows a preview of received messages. Disadvantage here: You can not respond to messages.
