Could you estimate when someone wakes up using Received receipts in most messaging apps?
Why is this marked as NSFW?
Why not?
I disable read receipts in Apps that support it. I also don't open notifications when i receive a message. I read the message in notification, or my Pixel buds reads it to me, i dont think apps register that as "read" since those notifications have explicit "mark as read" action.
Don't stalk people. Let them live their lives
*read receipts
The device will receive the message and send the received receipt regardless of the user (unless they have airplane mode on, or the device off entirely). It won't send read receipts until the message is actually viewed though.
Personally, I turn these off completely. You'll get a response when I'm available and feel like it; I don't like people feeling like they're being ignored just because I'm busy, or not ready to reply. I also find it kind of creepy having my phone report to others what I'm doing/have done.
First thing I do on a new phone regarding any messaging if to disable that feature. I don't want people thinking I'm ignoring them, but I also don't want people to know that I'm ignoring them.
You probably could for a lot of people, but then there'd be schmucks like me that just read notifications and rarely open the app, or put off messages until later.
Although, my Lemmy comments might give me away, that's part of my ease in-ease out ritual.
Hello fellow schmuck ๐
It's a simpler, more laid back life ๐
I hope not. In my times instant messengers were instant.
i am not sure if its still a thing but there was an app that automated this method for spying on your contacts. it even became quiet popular in the different app-stores.
But all of that is very limited data. Imagine what Meta itself can do with all the collected metadata. I wonder where their name came from
You can estimate all kinds of things if you go tracking people.
A "Showerthought" is a simple term used to describe the thoughts that pop into your head while you're doing everyday things like taking a shower, driving, or just daydreaming. A showerthought should offer a unique perspective on an ordinary part of life.
