Those blue ticks in WhatsApp can get you in a whole world of trouble, especially when you don’t reply instantly and someone sees you have read their messages.
You can turn them off, but it’s worth noting that if you do, you won’t get read receipts for your messages either.

Apple users: If you get Siri to read the message, the blue ticks won’t appear so this could be a good way to read a message without the sender knowing you have.
Android users: If you read your messages in notifications, the sender won’t get the blue ticks.
Steps to hide blue ticks in WhatsApp
iOS: Settings > Account > Privacy > Toggle off Read Receipts.
Android: Settings > Account > Privacy > Untick Read Receipts.
