Here’s another twist to FaceBook’s WhatsApp story. 2 weeks ago, we told you that they had an update which included new features such as the above. Now, apparently, this did not go down well with the majority of users and they are now trying to roll back some of it with an update which makes the feature optional instead.

Privacy has been an important concern these days, and to a majority of Whatsapp users, this seemed the end of what ever privacy that they have left as they would now have to explain their ‘excuses’ of reading the messages late or actually reading them but not replying, whichever maybe the case.

Are you irritated by this or do you love this?

Nonetheless, this feature has been available readily on BlackBerry Messenger for a long long time.
