feature. Those familiar green checkmarks will now turn blue when your
message has been read by the recipient.
WhatsApp's blue tick means they really do know when the message is 'read'
The days of claiming that you hadn't seen that WhatsApp message
flashing on your phone are over: techs at the company's HQ in Silicon
Valley have invented the double blue tick, which confirms when a
recipient has read the message.
Update Office Notice, your rights to ignore is now lost forever!
Previously people were climbing up the walls after not receiving a
reply following a double green tick message but actually, contrary to
popular belief, that never meant the message had been read. One tick
means sent, two ticks means delivered and now two blue ticks means
read.
As you would imagine, not everyone's thrilled about this development.
It's bound to invite torment. You'll either spend your life making
excuses or agonising over unresponsive friends. Either way, for
WhatsApp's 600 million users, there is no place to hide.
What do you think about these changes, or are they infringement on our
rights to ignore?
Below are some of the feedbacks we picked from the internet:
