What Does WhatsApp #BlueTicks Means?
Are you wondering whats the new blue tick that appears in WhatsApp? For you information, this is the new update from WhatsApp which includes the now infamous blue ticks. It has been observed that WhatsApp are trying to work as per the users needs. Some time back WhatsApp started new feature which allows the users to make changes in the Privacy settings. You can hide your Last Seen or Status by your own needs.
So now when the message is sent you will see 3 steps: Sent, Delivered and Read. WhatsApp has explained it in following way:
WhatsApp has also listed the following as reasons why your message may get stuck with a single grey tick:
The truly paranoid people can check the exact time the message was delivered and subsequently the time it was read by pressing the blue-ticked message and holding in for a few seconds, than selecting the 'info' option next to copy message. To check, sent the message to someone. When you see blue ticks, keep pressing on the message (the one with the blue ticks), see on top you will see options like, Info (circle with i), Delete and Copy. Select the Info option and see the details.
But like the "Privacy Settings Haters", there are also "Blue Ticks haters". Like hiding Status or Last seen can create problems in relationship. Similarly, many of them dont want that the person sending the message should know that you have read it. Believe it or not, this update is going to make the life more stressful. It happens :)
Cheers!!!
