No more reasons for not reading your messages, as Whatsapp has introduced this new feature that will let you know when your messages are read by the other party.
With this new expansion, there are three types of ticks or check marks or notifications that can appear with your sent messages.
message successfully sent.
message successfully conveyed to the recipient’s phone.
the recipient has read your message.
Below screen-grab will further explain what I just said:
Not to mention, blue ticks won’t appear if recipients sneaks your messages through the notification bar. But if conversation window is opened (even for a second) then blue ticks will appear immediately.While in a group chat, the blue ticks will appear only when all participants in the group have have read your message.Another plus is that you can also find-out the exact time when your messages were read. Basically hold down the message, then select info in the top menu to get time stamps.
There is a mixed feedback since the roll-out of this new feature. A slight dominant part is somewhat not happy with what WhatsApp is calling a feature that will add more reliability in the communications.Also, calling feature on Whatsapp is round the corner and we may see it any time now.
