On: Ask HN: Can we read a message without sending a "read" notification?

[dlcarrier]

'Read' notifications tend to be sent client-side, so it's possible on pretty much every platform. If the official client doesn't support disabling 'read' notifications, look for an open source client. If the official client is open-source, find a trusted fork.
