How to make blue ticks appear in WhatsApp - in detail?
To ensure that blue ticks (read receipts) appear in WhatsApp, both the sender and recipient must have certain settings enabled. Here is a detailed guide on how to achieve this:
For the Sender:
- Ensure Message Delivery: Make sure your message has been delivered by checking for a single gray tick next to it. This indicates that the message has left your device but hasn’t yet been read by the recipient.
- Check Internet Connection: Both you and the recipient need a stable internet connection, either via Wi-Fi or mobile data, for messages to be delivered and read receipts to appear.
For the Recipient:
- Read the Message: The recipient must open WhatsApp and view the message. Simply opening the chat isn’t enough; they need to actively read the message for blue ticks to appear.
-
Enable Read Receipts: By default, WhatsApp enables read receipts (blue ticks) for all users. However, if a recipient has turned off read receipts, you will not see blue ticks even if they have read your message. To check this setting:
- Open WhatsApp.
- Go to 'Settings' > 'Account' > 'Privacy'.
- Ensure the toggle next to 'Read Receipts' is turned on (green).
Additional Considerations:
- Group Chats: In group chats, read receipts are enabled by default and cannot be turned off. However, if a user has disabled read receipts for individual chats, they won’t see blue ticks in group chats either.
- Last Seen Status: If the recipient has set their 'Last Seen' status to 'Nobody,' it indicates that they have turned off read receipts. You will not receive blue ticks from such users.
-
Message Delivery Settings: Ensure your message delivery settings are correctly configured:
- Open WhatsApp.
- Go to 'Settings' > 'Account' > 'Privacy'.
- Check the setting for 'Last Seen', 'Profile Photo', and 'About' to ensure they are not set to 'Nobody.'
By following these steps, you can maximize the chances of seeing blue ticks in WhatsApp, indicating that your messages have been read by the recipient.
