Hide Blue Ticks in GB WhatsApp Pro v18.80
One-way blue ticks: hide yours from the sender, but keep seeing read receipts from your contacts.
How it works
What Hide Blue Ticks actually does
On stock WhatsApp the read-receipts switch is two-way — turn off your blue ticks and you also lose visibility into when others read your messages. GB WhatsApp Pro breaks that symmetry. Your ticks stay hidden, but you still see when contacts open your messages. The toggle can be applied globally or per chat for fine-grained control.
Activation
How to enable Hide Blue Ticks
4 steps, ~2 minutes. Settings persist across app restarts and updates.
-
Install GB WhatsApp Pro v18.80
If you haven't already, download the latest GB WhatsApp Pro APK from gbwhatts.pro and install it over the existing WhatsApp or as a fresh install. Hide Blue Ticks ships built-in — no extra modules or plug-ins.
-
Open the GBSettings menu
Open the app, tap the three-dot menu in the top right, pick GBSettings. Every GB WhatsApp Pro-specific feature lives under this menu — separate from the stock WhatsApp Settings.
-
Navigate to the Privacy section
Inside GBSettings, tap Privacy. Hide Blue Ticks is one of the toggles in that panel. Tap to open its sub-screen.
-
Enable Hide Blue Ticks
Flip the top toggle to ON. Most settings take effect immediately; a few (like custom themes or fonts) ask you to restart the app — accept the prompt and GB WhatsApp Pro reopens with the change applied.
