Instagram Might Soon Let You Disable ‘Read Receipts’

Nov 9 2023

Instagram is currently testing a new feature that will allow users to choose whether or not to use read receipts in direct message conversations.

Mark Zuckerberg and Adam Mosseri announced this update on their Instagram Broadcast channels. Mosseri also provided a visual of how the feature will function, showing a toggle under the Privacy and Safety tab, allowing users to control who can see their activity.

This change addresses a long-standing absence on Instagram, which previously didn’t offer the option to hide when a message has been “seen.” The update will provide users with more privacy and control over their messaging experience. However, it remains unclear when this feature will be widely available or how exactly it is being tested.

While Meta-owned WhatsApp has allowed users to hide their read receipts since 2014, Messenger, like Instagram, currently displays when a message has been viewed. The potential for this feature to expand across all Meta platforms in the future is uncertain. As the Instagram test progresses, users will have the opportunity to discreetly manage their message interactions.
