How to Read Facebook Chat Messages And Stay Undetected

Want to avoid annoying people on Facebook Chat? In the past you could do that just by not replying and feigning not having seen the message, but ever since Facebook has implemented the read receipt feature on Facebook chats, that excuse doesn’t work anymore.

There is no default Facebook chat setting to disable this ‘feature’, but we’ve found a workaround – a browser extension to remove the ‘Seen’ notice. With this installed, the person you are chatting with will not be able to tell when you have ‘seen’ their message.

Simple 1-Click Installation

To not let people know if you’ve read their Facebook chat messages, go to this website and press the green Get Chat Undetected button. It will then detect what web browser you’re using.
