Want to draft a long reply in peace? You can disable typing and recording status so nobody sees the indicator.
Steps
- Open Plus Settings, Privacy and security.
- Tap Hide typing and choose contacts, groups or both.
- Tap Hide recording and choose the same way.
Tip
Hiding typing only in groups keeps one to one chats feeling natural.
More options are in privacy features.
