What does one grey tick mean on WhatsApp?

Date: 2024-10-30

WHATSAPP is a great way to keep in touch with friends and family but users might wonder what the difference is between the colour of the ticks.

We’ve all seen the double blue tick on Whatsapp,Â but the single and double grey ones aren’t quite so clear. Here’s what we know.

Turn the toggle off.

However, this could mean that you can also no longer see when others have received or looked at your messages.

What happens if your ticks stay grey on WhatsApp?

Grey ticks can mean various things on WhatsApp.

The most obvious and likely explanation for two grey ticks is that the person hasn’t had a chance to open it yet.

But if you’ve seen the person online and they remain grey, it could be that they have read receipts off.

WhatsApp deliberately keeps the indicators that you have been blocked ambiguous to maintain users’ privacy.

However, the main signs you have been blocked include:

You can no longer see a contact’s last seen or online in the chat window
You do not see updates to a contact’s profile photo
Any messages sent to a contact who has blocked you will always show one tick and never two ticks
Any calls you attempt to place will not go through.
