Removing the double blue check on WhatsApp will allow you to read messages whenever you want , without letting the person who sent them know the exact time you read them, thus improving the privacy of some conversations that you want to manage more carefully.

The novelty of the double blue check, launched in November 2014, had not thrilled the users of the service , so the developers of WhatsApp gave the possibility to disable the much-hated function for the read receipt.
WHAT HAPPENS IF I DISABLE THE READING CONFIRMATION?
If you deactivate the read receipt – following the instructions below – the double blue check will NO longer appear in your conversations , not even in the messages you send: in fact, neither you nor the person with whom you are communicating will have the “visual” confirmation of the reading of the messages (the double check will always remain gray).
