“Blue ticks” on WhatsApp mean the message you sent has been read by the other person. One grey tick means the message was sent, two grey ticks mean it was delivered, and two blue ticks mean it was opened and read.
People use blue ticks to check whether someone has seen their message. In everyday life, this can help you know if a friend, family member, or coworker has read what you sent, so you can decide whether to wait for a reply or follow up.
Meaning & Usage
On WhatsApp, blue ticks are a read receipt. They show that the recipient opened the chat and viewed your message. If blue ticks do not appear, it may mean the person has not read it yet, or read receipts are turned off.
Examples
If you send “Are you free today?” and see blue ticks, the other person has read it. If you only see grey ticks, the message has not been read yet.
