Each of us is familiar with such circumstances: we read the message, but do not want or cannot answer it right away. And our interlocutor sees that the message has been read, but there is no answer. Awkward situation, right? Fortunately, it can be avoided.
How to discreetly read messages in any services
The most obvious option is to view new messages directly from the notification bar mobile device without opening the dialog itself. Thus, you can read at least short remarks of your interlocutors.
On iOS, swiping left on a message in the panel and tapping "View" will show even more text that might not fit in the preview. Many Android devices offer a similar opportunity. But if the message is very long, then using the panel it will not be read to the end.
There is another universal, but not the most convenient way. After receiving a message, you simply turn off and read the dialogue in the appropriate program. The interlocutor will not know about reading until you connect the gadget to the Web. This the only way secretly view the text of the message, for example, in Instagram Direct, and many other applications in the settings of which you can not turn off the read report.
Now consider options designed for specific programs and services.
How to discreetly read messages in iMessages
Developers allow you to hide the fact of reading using settings. If you're using an iPhone or iPad, go to Settings → Messages and turn the switch next to Read Report to clear. After that, the interlocutors will not see whether you read their messages or not.
To disable read receipts on , go to "Messages" → "Settings" → "Accounts" and uncheck the box next to "Read receipt".
How to discreetly read messages on Facebook
Officially, this option is not provided. But there are solutions from third-party developers.
If you are using a browser Google Chrome then download Unseen for Facebook. Once installed, it will automatically hide the read status from your interlocutors.
If you prefer Firefox, there is a similar plugin for this browser - Message Seen Disable for Facebook.
Unfortunately, in mobile version Hiding read status is not yet possible. So, if you need to ignore someone, you have to use the computer.
How to discreetly read WhatsApp messages
For this purpose, in the mobile settings whatsapp apps there is a special option. Open the section "Settings" → "Account" (" Account”) → “Privacy” (“Confidentiality”) and turn off the “Read Receipts” toggle switch. After that, the messenger will no longer mark messages with blue checkmarks.
In the desktop whatsapp versions this setting is not available. But if you use it in mobile application, then the changes will also apply to the computer.
How to discreetly read messages in Viber
In that popular messenger you can also turn off viewing reports directly in the official mobile client. To do this, go to the menu "Settings" → "Privacy" and turn off the "Viewed" option.
In the desktop version of Viber, this setting is not available. But if you use it in the mobile application, then the changes will also apply to the computer.
How to discreetly read messages on VKontakte
There are no standard functions for this. But you can try workarounds.
Android users have access to an alternative VKontakte client Kate Mobile. If you enter it with your account and click "Settings" → "Online" → "Close unread", then the program will hide the status of messages. Unfortunately, I could not find a client for iOS with the same functionality.
There is also a way to secretly read messages on the web version of VKontakte. You can use the link http://vk.com/im?q=day:xxxxxxxx by specifying numbers instead of x's current date in the format DDMMYYYY: for example, 19032018. A window with messages will open in which you can read them without the senders noticing. But keep in mind that developers can close this loophole at any time.

You can turn off browsing reports in Outlook on the web. Go to "Settings" → "Mail" → "Message handling" → "Read receipts" and check the box "Never send notifications". Changes will be saved for all Outlook clients.
Good afternoon. In this article, we will learn how to determine the number of unread and find out if the message was read by the interlocutor or not.
Unread messages VKontakte - these are those that were sent by one participant in the dialogue, but not viewed by the interlocutor. Any unread messages on the social network are stored for an arbitrarily long time until the interlocutor views it. Below we will learn what actions you can perform with them.
How to check the number of unread messages
In order to find out if you have unread dialogues at all, it's enough. If there are any numbers in the side menu opposite the “Messages” item, then you have unread dialogues.
It is worth remembering that the number in the sidebar opposite the "Messages" item shows the number of unread dialogs, not messages. If three people wrote to you each with five messages, then the number 3 will be displayed, not 15 (3x5).
The screenshot below shows that only one dialogue has not been read.
If you go to the list of dialogs, you can see that fresh unread dialogs are always on top, have a pale blue background and an unread message counter. The screenshot shows that there is only one unread dialogue, in which there are three messages.
It also happens that a person could forget to read some correspondence, but at that time he was actively communicating with other people, and then dialogues with unread content could go down in the list. Then you can quickly find out the number of unread dialogues in the corresponding menu item in the “Messages” section. To do this, go to the page with a list of dialogs and select the item “Unread”. Then only unread dialogs will open in the list.
How to know if your message has been read in VK
Imagine that you wrote a message to an interlocutor who was offline. How do you know if the interlocutor has read your message? If you are viewing correspondence from a computer, then unread messages can be determined by the background color - it is pale blue. For reads, the background turns white.
Also in the list of dialogs, the background of the unread message will not be white, but pale blue.
If you watch the correspondence from the phone, then the unread ones are displayed there with a blue circle.
How to leave a message unread
The unread mark is removed from the message after you open a dialog with such a message. Hence the simple conclusion - to leave the message unread, just do not open this dialog. Sometimes it can be useful to get behind an annoying interlocutor with whom you do not want to communicate. He will see that you do not read messages from him, and perhaps stop writing to you.
How to delete an unread message
Sometimes users ask this question too. But if you open a dialog to delete a message, it will be automatically read. In order to delete a message without reading it, you need to delete the entire history of correspondence. Somewhat crude method, but there is no other way.
Sometimes in older versions of VK for a smartphone, dialogues were marked as unread even after all messages in the correspondence were viewed. It's just an application glitch. As a rule, in this case, you need to review the dialog and restart the application. If this does not help, then you need to restart the phone. Usually these two methods cope with the problem in 99% of cases 🙂
Shows in brackets the number of unread messages, but when you click "Unread" there are none. It's hard to say why this problem "travels" from version to version, starting with Office 97 but it is by no means new. Take your time reinstall programs or carry the computer in service. You can handle this problem on your own!
In case of Office 2013/2016 the solution to the problem is the following:
Method 1:
- In the "Inbox" type in the search bar "Read: no" (for the English interface "Read: no") and press Enter
- Click "Search All Items", "Search Server"
- In the results you will see a letter or letters:
As you can see from the screenshot, the letter immediately became read. It turned out to be a draft letter, which for some reason ended up in the Inbox folder, so it was impossible to see it among the list of letters.
Method 2:
Select "Search Folders" in the folder area. Click "Create Search Folder..." in the context menu.
In the window that opens, select the pre-installed search folder type "Unread emails" and specify in which account to search.
Click "OK" and all unread messages should be displayed in the created search folder.
P.S.: Search folders are useful for those who use a folder hierarchy for incoming emails, separating emails according to different criteria. For example, you can create a search folder that displays incoming (received) emails for the last week or month(s) or year. Thus, letters lying in different folders will be displayed in the general sequence of receipt.
