The latest version, WAIncognito for Chrome 2.3.5, has been released, enhancing user privacy on WhatsApp. This Chrome extension allows users to become virtually invisible by disabling read receipts and last-seen status updates, providing more control over their online presence.
With WAIncognito, users can easily toggle the sending of message read receipts—indicated by the two blue checkmarks—and last-seen updates through a new menu integrated into WhatsApp Web. This feature is particularly useful for reading messages without the pressure of immediate replies, applicable for both one-on-one conversations and group chats.
Moreover, the extension offers functionality to hide viewed statuses and stories, as well as the ability to keep and restore deleted messages. Users can also set a safety timeout, which enables them to delay sending read receipts after opening a message. During this period, they can cancel the receipts if they choose not to acknowledge the message. The unread message counter is displayed in a transparent format when receipts are blocked and changes to red after reading, ensuring users remain aware of their incognito status.
WAIncognito is an open-source extension that empowers users with more control over their visibility on WhatsApp. It is a valuable tool for those who prefer to manage their online interactions discreetly.
In addition to its core functionalities, WAIncognito encourages users to explore further privacy-enhancing practices, such as using Chrome's incognito mode, managing browser history settings, and effectively blocking unknown contacts on WhatsApp. These practices collectively contribute to a more secure and private online experience
