- Self-chat mode (allowFrom includes your number) avoids auto read receipts and ignores mention JIDs.
- Read receipts sent for non-self-chat DMs.
## Read receipts
By default, the gateway marks inbound WhatsApp messages as read (blue ticks) once they are accepted.
Disable globally:
```json5
{
channels: { whatsapp: { sendReadReceipts: false } }
}
```
Disable per account:
```json5
{
channels: {
whatsapp: {
accounts: {
personal: { sendReadReceipts: false }
}
}
}
}
```
Notes:
- Self-chat mode always skips read receipts.
