WhatsApp currently tell you if your message has been read or not

[Dinesh jain]

WhatsApp, the world's most popular messaging
service, is testing a new feature that will tell a
user when his or her message has been read
by the recipient. The app already confirms the
delivery of a message by showing two ticks.

But users of the latest WhatsApp app are
reporting that the two ticks now turn blue -
currently they are shown in grey colour - when
the message has been read. One user - Amber
Prevoo - provided Indiatoday.in with a
screenshot from the beta version of Whatsapp
that she is using, confirming that the 'message
read' notification is coming to the apps..

"I'm currently on the beta but it seems to be
implemented some time ago and now gets
rolled out," said Amber. "I had installed the
beta about a day ago, got this option only a
few hours back."

The fact that the feature will soon appear in
the final version (and updated) version of the
app is also confirmed by the FAQ posted on
the WhatsApp website. The FAQ has been
updated and new information has been added
to explain the tick marks.

"In a group chat, the second check marks will
appear when all participants in the group have
received your message. The two blue check
marks will appear when all participants in the
group have read your message," WhatsApp
notifies in the FAQ.

Though, WhatsApp is incredibly popular,
compared to other messaging apps like Line
and Hike apps it is also slightly light on
features. But gradually, the app is getting more
features. It is supposed to get the voice calls
functionality in early 2015, something that
helps it take on the apps like Skype and Viber.
While the "message read" confirmation is
bound to prove helpful to most users, some
may not like it because it may make it difficult
to ignore a conversation or message.

WhatsApp had earlier introduced a feature to
hide the "last seen" status so that users who
don't want to broadcast their schedule to rest
of the world can hide when they use the
messaging service and when they don't. For
now it is not clear if WhatsApp users will have
option to turn off the blue ticks or not ..
Also, it is not clear if the blue ticks will only
appear when a message has been read in the
WhatsApp or will also appear if the message
has read (or swiped away) on the notification
screen on a smartphone.

That's a superb update!! I have been waiting for this feature for a very long time. In fact, I switched to hike messenger initially for this reason although I like hike for some other innovative features too. Thanks!!

And it'll look like this in a group chat. You can see to whom in the group, the message was delivered and who read it. It's awesome.
