“Two blue ticks” on WhatsApp means the message has been delivered to the other person’s phone. It does not always mean they have read it yet.
People usually look at the two blue ticks to check if their message was seen. If the other person has read receipts turned on, the ticks turn blue after they open the chat. If read receipts are off, you may still see gray ticks even after the message is read.
Meaning & Usage
One gray tick means the message was sent. Two gray ticks mean it was delivered. Two blue ticks mean it was read, but only when read receipts are enabled.
