How to Disable or Turn off Seen feature in Facebook Chat

It’s been some time since Facebook introduced the ‘seen’ feature on chat. When you chat with someone on Facebook, and the person read your message, it displays ‘seen’ along with the time or date the message was read. Mixed opinions are coming from users, some people like this chat seen feature and some don’t. It can be convenient, but it is also a form of privacy invasion. I personally sometimes feels this feature is annoying one.
