What does one gray check mark mean in WhatsApp messages when sending to a person - in detail?
A single gray check mark in WhatsApp messages signifies that your message has been successfully sent from your device but has not yet been delivered to the recipient's phone. This status indicates that the message is currently in transit and has left your device, but it has not reached the recipient's device yet. It serves as an intermediate step between when you hit send and when the message actually arrives at its intended destination. Once the message is successfully delivered to the recipient's phone, the check mark will turn blue, indicating that the recipient has received your message.
