If you see only one checkmark next to your message on WhatsApp, it means the app has successfully sent the message from your device but has not yet been delivered to the recipient's phone.
If there is only one checkmark on WhatsApp, what does it mean - in detail?
When you send a message on WhatsApp and see only one checkmark next to it, this indicates that your message has left your device but has not yet been delivered to the recipient's phone. The single checkmark is a confirmation from WhatsApp servers that they have received your message for transmission. However, it does not guarantee that the recipient has seen or read your message.
The absence of a second checkmark means that the message has not reached the recipient's device yet. This could be due to various reasons such as network issues, the recipient's phone being turned off or in airplane mode, or the recipient not having WhatsApp installed on their device. Once the message is successfully delivered and appears on the recipient's screen, you will see two checkmarks next to your sent message.
