Directly turning off blue ticks for one person on WhatsApp is not possible. You can disable read receipts for everyone by going to Settings > Account > Privacy > Read Receipts and toggling it off. However, this will turn off blue ticks for all contacts and you also won't be able to see if others have read your messages.
FAQs & Answers
- Can I turn off blue ticks on WhatsApp for just one person? No, WhatsApp does not currently allow users to disable read receipts (blue ticks) for individual contacts. Disabling read receipts will turn them off for all contacts.
- What happens when I turn off read receipts on WhatsApp? When you disable read receipts, you won’t see blue ticks for messages you send, and others won’t see them for messages they send to you, effectively hiding the read status from everyone.
- Are there any exceptions to read receipts on WhatsApp? Yes, read receipts are always sent for group chats and play receipts (voice messages) even if read receipts are turned off.
