How to Check if Someone Read your Message on WhatsApp
Method 1
According to the UI /UX of WhatsApp, there are checkmarks that will be showned if a message was delivered, not delivered and read. I.e, every checkmark has a meaning.
- If you sent a message and it shows a single grey checkmark, it means that your message wasn’t delivered to that person. This can happen if the receivers internet is turned off or there is no signal at the receiver’s end.
- If you sent a message and it shows a two grey checkmarks, it means that your message was sent and delivered but the receiver haven’t read or open the chat. It may be that the receiver just decided to ignore the chat by not reading or opening it or maybe the receiver is busy.
- If you see two blue checkmarks next to your message, it means the recipient read the chat.
- For group chat, it’s quite similar, the only difference is that you’ll see two blue checkmarks only when all the members have read the message. Until then, they’ll remain in grey.

Sometimes, people can go extra length by turning off their “read recipient” in the WhatsApp settings. This means that, you won’t know if they’ve read your message or not as the two blue checkmark won’t show. Tho, you will know that your message was sent and delivered.
