Instagram is an extremely popular photo and video sharing app. Many users also use this app for chatting. There are many secret features on Instagram which we do not use and most of the users do not even know about these features. Like, do you know that you can secretly read your friends' messages on Instagram.
You will read their message and they will not even know that you have read the message. That is, after reading the message on Instagram, the tick with Read Receipt will not appear below the message. Yes, this message feature of Instagram is exactly like the WhatsApp app, in which you read the message, but there are no two blue ticks on the message. Let us know how to use this hidden feature of Instagram.
Instagram recently added a privacy feature with read receipts on its platform. Under this feature, you can decide whether you want to tell the sender of the message whether you have read the message or not. If you do not want the other person to know that you have read the message, then you will have to make a small setting in Instagram.
Do this to disable read receipts in Instagram.
step 1: First of all open Instagram app in your phone.
Phase 2: Now go to DM section.
Step 3: Now you have to open the chat whose message you want to read secretly.
step 4: Now click on the arrow that appears next to the username that appears at the top of that chat.
Step 5: Later in the new window you will see three options like Theme, Privacy & Security and Create Group Chat.
Step 6: From this, you have to click on the Privacy and Safety option.
Step 7: Afterwards you will see an option called Read Receipts which has been turned on.
Step 8: Now you have to toggle it off.
After this setting, whenever any user sends you a message on Instagram, you will also read their message, so they will not know whether you have read their message or not.
