WhatsApp rolled out their newest update sending the world in uproar for their privacy infringement. Now earlier hiding the last seen was a good way to avoid some potential conflicts, but with its new feature of the 2 blue ticks, hiding the last seen wont mean that much!
So whats this ticks all about? Read all about it here from the Developers Itself - Updated FAQ's
A lot of teens are harrowed by this piece of information!!
But there is a small turn around.... which may or may not work with all phone models, but it worked with using an Iphone 4 (to send) and a Samsung Note 3 Neo (to receive). This apparently does not work with IOS as updated to me by @davyr0. At a later update by @krish_vikram it was found that it does not allow it on Windows OS as well.
Please let me know in the comments if it did or did not work or tweet me @udayansikdar
THE FIX
In your notification settings, turn on your pop up notification in settings
I noticed that after doing that, the blue marker does not activate. You can read the message, and the other user does not get notified. However there are other things which you have to keep in mind.
Keeping this on, anyone will be able to read your message without unlocking your phone. So unless you have no-one touching your phone, I would not advise it.
Do me let me know in comments if you faced any problems. I am sure others will be happy to get some updates!
