“Seen” mentions on Messenger can put some users in delicate situations. They don’t necessarily want to respond or simply want to take time to respond. Fortunately, it is possible to remove the “Seen” mentions.

At the time, the introduction of “Seen” mentions on Messenger had somewhat disturbed instant messaging users. It was no longer possible to pretend not to have seen a message and the recipient felt obliged to respond. Furthermore, if the latter did not do so, the issuer could in certain cases blame him for it.

Today, this feature has become part of the habits of Messenger users and most live with it. However, it is entirely possible to deactivate “Seen” mentions in a few clicks. Here’s how to do it.

First of all, you need to click on the three small overlapping lines at the top left of the home screen. Then, tap the “setting” emoticon which takes the shape of a bolt and is located on the right of the screen.

Going down to the “settings” page you will find the “Privacy and security” category. Click on it.

Next, you will find the “Read Confirmation” category. This is where you will be able to display read receipts or not.

All you have to do is swipe the slider to the right or left to display the read receipts or not.

There you have it, removing the “Seen” mentions should allow those who want it to have more confidentiality on Messenger.

Note that this change in settings affects the mobile application, but also the computer application.
