WhatsApp is developing a preview window for Android that allows reading messages secretly by long-pressing on a conversation. Unlike Apple devices, the interface will allow scrolling through text without sending a read receipt and without disabling the general setting. The development breaks the cumbersome reciprocity mechanism of read receipts and is expected to arrive in upcoming updates. The article notes that the feature is in active internal development and has not yet been opened for use even by official beta testers.
