OnePlus: Enable or Disable Typing Indicators in Messages

If your chat partner keeps seeing you are typing even during short pauses, the Show typing indicators feature is broadcasting your input status. This works the same way as the typing bubble in WhatsApp, letting others know a reply is on the way. Turning it off removes that pressure without touching any other messaging setting.

Show Typing Indicators: Enable or Disable auf OnePlus

Show typing indicators tells the other side of a conversation that you are currently composing a reply on your OnePlus phone. The feature works through the built in Messages app and mirrors the typing bubble known from WhatsApp Messenger.

Some people find this signal helpful because it confirms a reply is coming. Others feel rushed once the other person sees the indicator appear, especially during longer or more thoughtful replies.

The setting lives inside the chat features of the Messages app, separate from notification or privacy settings. Disabling it only stops your own typing status from being sent; it does not affect whether you see typing indicators from contacts, since that depends on their own setting.

To change it, open Open the Messages appOpen the menuOpen the SettingsTap on Chat featuresEnable or disable Show typing indicators.

If messages still appear to send instantly without any typing signal after disabling this, that is expected behavior and not a bug.

Frequently asked questions

No. Typing indicators and read receipts are separate settings inside Chat features. Disabling one does not change the other.
