Ever since the introduction of blue ticks on Whatsapp, people who hate replying messages have been hating its existence. Now, more than ever, these people need to actually reply. Because if you don't - so rude. But there's a secret way to hack this, if you're using an iPhone.

When you've received a message and want to read it but don't want to let the other person know you have then you can follow these steps:

1. Don't open the app when you get a message. Go to your settings and turn on "Airplane mode."

2. When that's done, you can open the app, and read the conversation, and probably think how you're going to reply, lest you ruin friendships.

3. After you're done reading, you need to close the app completely and turn the networks back on. 

4. The sender won't see the ticks turn blue until you open Whatsapp again.

But seriously, why can't you just reply?
