8. Hide The Fact You're Ignoring Someone On Whatsapp
Read Receipts
You can easily disable those giveaway double blue ticks (Settings > Account > Privacy > Read Receipts) so you can avoid the awkward "I know you've read it, why aren't you replying" conversation when you just don't want to reply.
Last Seen
You can also turn your 'Last Seen' time at the top of the messages which can also contribute to "I know you've been online why are you ignoring me" conversations! Head to Settings > Account > Privacy > Last Seen and you can decide who you want to see when you've last been active. Yes to guilt-free ignoring!
9. Mute Group Chat Notifications
Whats-App group chats are a blessing and a curse. Yep, you can all decide what to do together and at what time but if the decision has been made and the conversation is still going on and you don't want to hear all about it what do you do? Just listen to your phone incessantly buzz? Nope! Mute group chat notifications by simply selecting the chat name at the top to open the in-message settings and toggle mute to on for as long as you like.Join UNiDAYS Now For Free Student Discount
