2
Configure Read Receipts
Toggle read receipts on or off. When disabled, contacts cannot see when you have read their messages, and you cannot see when they read yours. This prevents pressure to respond immediately and protects your activity patterns.
3
Manage Typing Indicators
Disable typing indicators to prevent contacts from seeing when you are composing a message. This is a small but meaningful privacy feature that prevents real-time activity monitoring by contacts.
4
Set Contact Permissions
Configure who can contact you: everyone, contacts only, or specific allowlists. Block unwanted contacts. Set whether your profile photo and status are visible to everyone, contacts only, or nobody.
5
Lock Screen and Notification Privacy
Configure notifications to hide message content on your lock screen—show only the sender name or just "New Message." Enable app-level biometric lock so WeTalkin requires Face ID or fingerprint even when your phone is unlocked.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the most private WeTalkin configuration?
For maximum privacy: disable read receipts and typing indicators, set profile visibility to contacts only, enable biometric app lock, hide notification content on lock screen, enable disappearing messages by default, and use a VPN alongside WeTalkin.
Can I block someone on WeTalkin?
Yes. Block contacts through their profile or conversation settings. Blocked contacts cannot send you messages, call you, or see your profile information. They are not notified of being blocked.
Do privacy settings affect encryption?
No. End-to-end encryption is always active regardless of your privacy settings. Privacy settings control visibility and interaction preferences—they are an additional layer on top of the always-on encryption.
