WhatsApp will soon tell you if your message has been read or not
WhatsApp, the world's most popular messaging service, is testing a new feature that will tell a user when his or her message has been read by the recipient. The app already confirms the delivery of a message by showing two ticks.
But users of the latest WhatsApp app are reporting that the two ticks now turn blue - currently they are shown in grey colour - when the message has been read. One user - Amber Prevoo - provided Indiatoday.in with a screenshot from the beta version of Whatsapp that she is using, confirming that the 'message read' notification is coming to the app.
"I'm currently on the beta but it seems to be implemented some time ago and now gets rolled out," said Amber. "I had installed the beta about a day ago, got this option only a few hours back."
The fact that the feature will soon appear in the final version (and updated) version of the app is also confirmed by the FAQ posted on the WhatsApp website. The FAQ has been updated and new information has been added to explain the tick marks.
"In a group chat, the second check marks will appear when all participants in the group have received your message. The two blue check marks will appear when all participants in the group have read your message," WhatsApp notifies in the FAQ.
