What does it mean when there is one tick next to a WhatsApp message - in detail?
When you see a single check mark (tick) next to a WhatsApp message, it indicates that your message has been successfully sent from your device but has not yet been delivered to the recipient's phone. This status is common and simply means that the message is in transit. It does not provide information on whether the recipient's phone is currently available or turned off; it only confirms that the message has left your device and is on its way to the intended recipient. Once the message reaches the recipient’s device, you will see two check marks instead of one, indicating successful delivery.
