It was an old demand and finally activated on Wednesday WhatsApp blue double click that lets you know when a message has been read by the recipient. But the “snitch” has already gained both supporters and detractors
This was
one of the major demands of the more than 600 million users who have WhatsApp worldwide. Since Wednesday afternoon, the instant messaging service informs users if their messages have been read by double blue tick (also lamado blue pigeons or blue popcorn) to the right of each sentence sent. However, the move has been widely criticized on social networks for users who consider it an invasion of privacy.
So far, the messaging application Facebook only property indicating whether messages had reached server (with a simple gray tic) or the recipient’s phone (double gray tic) but this marker was confusing and led to many misunderstandings. To the extent that the company had to come out to clarify that the double gray meant the message had arrived but had not actually been seen. Now this point is absolutely clear.
But at the other end is feared that this “snitch” can produce more control between partners or between parents and children, for example, and even in the workplace and that emphasizes the obsessive behaviors still be more aware of mobile.
Many users have complained on social networking privacy loss. Recently, a report by the Electronic Frontier Foundation, an organization that defends the rights of citizens, WhatsApp harshly criticized for its lack of security.
So much so that they have started to run the formulas to ‘disable’ the tool. Actually, it is not clear but there are some options to avoid blue ticks. Input, so that the blue double check work in a conversation, you need to update WhatsApp. If you have already upgraded you can find a former official apk, immediately preceding version, if possible, and install it.
