We have all, at one time or another, decided not to respond to a message on Facebook Messenger even though we have seen and read it. Maybe because we are busy or we simply don't want to talk to this person.
But in recent weeks, Facebook activated on the messenger chat a new feature that lets you know if your friends have seen the messages you have sent. And it started to create real conflicts.
Fortunately, this morning I found the ultimate solution for this problem. And it is with pleasure that I share with you this easy and quick tip to do.
In fact the solution is to use an extension for Google Chrome which now allows you to turn off Messenger read receipt . It is called Unseen Message.
How to use Unseen Message?
This application installs in just 3 seconds. To do this, go to Chrome web store and download extension.
A new Eye-shaped button is added to the browser bar. All you have to do is activate or deactivate the extension to prevent your friends from knowing that you saw their message.
On the Firefox internet browser, you can install the same extension which is rather called “FB unseen” on the browser module platform.
I tested Unseen Message on the chrome browser and it works perfectly. If you have any problems using it, don't hesitate to share them in a comment!
Thank you very much for this tutorial. But it doesn't work, my constacts still see when I read the messages… Are these extensions still valid?
Yes indeed the extension no longer works and is no longer up to date. Try this new extension for chrome instead: https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/unseen-message/oapcfkclledjbalilncpoimgjgcndhdo/
It works very well! I tested it myself.
Thanks for this info, cheers Funinformatique
!!!
But we are always seen connected? LOL
Is this extension available on Opera Browser???
For the moment, Facebook Unseen is only available for Firefox and Chrome, but soon for Safari and Opera!
It will be more favorable if you put the procedure that the extension follows to not show the notification.
