HOW TO TURN OFF READ RECEIPTS FEATURE ON TELEGRAM?

On Telegram, there is currently no direct option to turn off read receipts. When you receive a message and open the chat, the sender will see two check marks indicating that their message has been read.

While there is no direct way to disable read receipts, here are some workarounds that can help you read messages without sending read receipts:

  1. Use Airplane Mode: Enable Airplane Mode before opening Telegram. Read the message, then disable Airplane Mode. This will prevent Telegram from updating the read receipt status.
  2. Use Snoop and Look: In Telegram, long-press a contact's avatar to read the latest message without triggering a read receipt.
  3. Read from Notification Panel: If you've allowed message previews, you can read Telegram messages without opening the app or sending read receipts from the notification panel.
  4. Third-Party Apps: Use third-party apps, like Unseen – No Last Read, but be aware that these apps may require full access to your Telegram account.

Please note that these workarounds are not foolproof and that your privacy and account's integrity might be impacted by using such methods.
