If you want to read a WhatsApp message without leaving a trace, there’s no simpler and quicker way than this.
Although I admit I’ve never tried installing alternative WhatsApp applications like WhatsApp Pink, WhatsApp Gold, or that promised enhanced version WhatsApp Plus, more for professional research purposes than out of curiosity, I’ve tried a long list of ways to read WhatsApp messages ninja-style.
So, I’ve used Google Assistant, I’ve also used widgets to use them as informants, I’ve used notification previews, I’ve used airplane mode… but in the end, those methods go against how I have my phone configured (for example, I like notifications not to show on the screen and I opt for minimalism). However, if I’m interested in reading a WhatsApp message without anyone finding out, I have a simple and foolproof trick: resorting to WhatsApp Web.
How to read a message without anyone knowing on WhatsApp Web
I don’t have to install anything or activate any special settings, and it’s not a bug that will disappear, because in fact, it has been operational and working for years. Plus, it works just as well regardless of the browser or whether the operating system is Windows or Linux.
This trick is especially interesting for those people who communicate by writing information in a single long message… because the only drawback of this trick is that you can only see the last message that was sent to you. The good thing is that there will be no trace of your reading regardless of your WhatsApp settings (whether you have the blue double check activated).
To read messages ninja-style with WhatsApp Web, you just have to open the application in the browser and log into your account as usual, and when someone talks to you, you’ll see the classic green bubble with the number of messages sent. You just have to place the mouse cursor over the chat you’re interested in reading from the chat list without clicking.
This point is important, as otherwise, it will appear as read. Wait a few seconds, and a small pop-up bubble with the full content of the message will appear.
