How to Hide Blue Ticks in GB WhatsApp
GB WhatsApp lets you read messages without sending a blue-tick read receipt. Menu names differ between builds, so look for the closest match if yours is labelled differently.
Hide Blue Ticks for All Chats
- Open GB WhatsApp and tap the three-dot menu.
- Go to the mod settings (often called GB Settings).
- Open Privacy and Security.
- Find options such as Hide blue ticks or Hide read receipts and turn them on.
- Restart the app if the change does not apply immediately.
Hide Them for Selected Contacts
Some builds let you open a contact’s chat settings and choose a custom privacy option, so receipts are hidden only for specific people.
Related Options
- Hide double ticks (delivered status).
- Hide typing and recording indicators.
- Hide your online status.
What to Know
- The official app has a read-receipts toggle too, but with two-way effects: turning it off hides others’ receipts from you as well. Compare in GB vs official.
- Group messages and voice notes can behave differently across versions.
- Opening the chat can still count as reading in some builds, so test with a friend.
Troubleshooting
If the setting does not work, update to the latest version, restart your phone and re-check the toggles. More fixes in troubleshooting.
FAQ
Will the sender know I hid blue ticks?
They only see that no blue ticks appear, which also happens with official privacy settings.
Does it raise ban risk?
The mod itself carries the risk, not this specific setting.
