How to Enable Blue Tick on WhatsApp – Checkmarks in WhatsApp messages are notifications for messages you send.
A single gray check mark indicates the message has been sent but has not been received by the recipient.
Two gray ticks mean the message has been sent but has not been read and two blue ticks mean the message has been sent and has been read.
However, there are also those whose messages have been read and replied to by the recipient, but have two ticks and the color is gray.
This means that the recipient of the message uses the Mod version of WA, guys, and the blue tick can also be intentionally disabled.
