1. Avoid Sending The Dreaded ‘Double Blue Tick’ So People Don’t Think You’re Ignoring Them
Sometimes you just want to quickly read a message before you actually have chance to reply – which might not be until five hours later, by which point your buddy has seen the two ticks and now thinks you’re an ignorant SOB who hates them.

To avoid this, go to the Settings menu, then Account, then Privacy, and switch off the ‘Read Receipts’ option.
If you want to be really sneaky, you can switch your phone to airplane mode before reading the message – that way the blue ticks won’t go through.
