WAIncognito for Chrome has released version 2.2.2, a Chrome extension designed to enhance user privacy on WhatsApp. This tool allows users to become virtually invisible by disabling read receipts (the two blue checkmarks) and last-seen status updates. The extension introduces a new menu within WhatsApp Web, enabling users to easily toggle these features on and off, which is especially useful for reading messages without the pressure of responding immediately.
WAIncognito caters to both individual chats and group messages, and it extends its functionality to include managing statuses and stories. A unique feature of the extension is its ability to keep deleted messages for potential future retrieval. It also includes a safety timeout option, allowing users to set a time limit during which read receipts will not be sent automatically. If a user decides to respond later, they can cancel the sending of receipts by utilizing a designated button.
The unread message counter appears transparent when receipts are blocked, turning red once messages are read, thus providing a clear indication of when the user is active in incognito mode. As an open-source extension, WAIncognito empowers users with greater control over their visibility on WhatsApp, ensuring their privacy is respected.
With the growing need for privacy in digital communications, extensions like WAIncognito are becoming increasingly popular. They not only offer more control over personal information but also enhance the overall user experience by reducing social pressure associated with instant messaging. As WhatsApp continues to evolve, tools like WAIncognito could play a significant role in how users interact with the platform while maintaining their desired level of privacy
