News: WhatsApp now lets you know your message has been read!

[Anonymous]

Its always been a common misconception that the two ticks after you send a Whatsapp message meant that the message had been read, however this was only an indication that the message had been delivered, unlike BBM which has always shown you when a message has been sent and read!

Now, since this morning, WhatsApp will do the following:

1 grey tick = message has been sent

2 grey ticks = message has been delivered

2 blue ticks = message has been read

So now you know

And being a bit lazy I tend to rely on people replying....to know they have been read...

(but that is just me...):happy-smiley01:

Thanks for sharing this info

What if you read the WhatsApp message without opening the app? Does it appear with 2 blue ticks?

You mean via the notification panel?
I think it would still appear as unread until the actual message is opened.

Cool, good to know viridis!
Then if my mum says I told you to bring smt I can always say I haven't read it yet

Thats a good trick @Anonymous  Must remember that one...

You should always do what your mum says.
The seen but not read feature is purely for relationship usage whilst shopping.
I told you to get eggs, when, oh, I didn't read it look it's still there unopened, I'm sorry I must not have heard it.
Never your mum marina.
Never your mum.

I was thinking more along the lines of ignoring my lads...with their constant I want want want...:smileywink:

[Anonymous]

hahaha

that can work too @Cleoriff

You should never ignore your lads. One day they might end up like marina and ignoring their mothers request of eggs or bread.
