Stay Unseen: Hide Seen, Read Receipts & Downloader

Control read receipts, typing indicators and story views on supported sites. Pro adds media downloads and focus tools.

Stay Unseen helps you manage read receipts, typing indicators and story views on supported desktop websites. Choose your privacy settings, read messages at your own pace and add media downloads with Pro. FREE PRIVACY CONTROLS On Instagram, control message read receipts, typing indicators and supported story/reel-view signals. On Facebook and Messenger, control chat read receipts and typing indicators, plus supported story-view signals on the social site. Keep native unread markers where supported. Switch individual protections on or off, or pause them for 15 minutes, 1 hour or 24 hours. Core controls require no purchase or Stay Unseen account. PRO FEATURES - WhatsApp Web: manage blue ticks, typing and recording indicators, and Status views. Use Mark Seen in a supported conversation when you choose. - Threads: control supported read, presence and typing signals, preserve unread markers and check whether a viewed profile follows you. - TikTok: save watermark-free playback video when available and check whether a viewed profile follows you. Uploader-added marks remain; photo slideshows and read-receipt or profile-visit blocking are not included. - Media and chat tools: download supported video posts, reels, story photos or videos, and available voice notes. Use Mark Seen in supported chats when you are ready. On supported profiles, check whether an account follows you while signed in; unavailable relationship data is shown as unavailable. - Focus Mode: hide supported social feeds and reels while keeping messaging available. Screen Privacy blurs and locks supported pages. Check the compatibility page for each tool's site coverage. - Quick controls: use the floating Ghost Pill for on-page settings. Organize queued downloads by platform and date, retry failed items or pause the queue before the next download starts. ONE-TIME PRO PURCHASE Pro costs $9.99 USD through Gumroad for up to three active browser installations, with no subscription. Activate your key in the dashboard. Activation and periodic licence renewal require internet access; offline access lasts while the saved entitlement is valid. DATA AND COMPATIBILITY Settings, counters and the download queue stay in your browser. There are no advertising trackers or extension analytics. Messages and downloaded files are not uploaded to Stay Unseen servers. Licensing contacts the Stay Unseen API, and the dashboard requests public compatibility information. Some tools request data directly from the platform using your signed-in session. Features depend on each website and may change after platform updates. These controls do not guarantee anonymity and do not control native mobile apps. TikTok downloads in Chrome and Edge are limited to 128 MB. Add Stay Unseen to Chrome, refresh your open tabs and choose your settings.
