The three blue ticks arrive on the Meta app. Since it was acquired by Mark Zuckerberg’s group, the messaging platform has become increasingly central to the strategies of the Menlo Park technology giant. WhatsApp is popular all over the world. The numbers speak for themselves: 2 billion people in the world chat with this application.
In the meantime, Meta is not resting on its laurels and is preparing to introduce a new feature, in line with what has been done over the years, To satisfy the demands of its users, the app is always modifying. WhatsApp has long been something more than a tool for chatting.
In addition to exchanging videos and photos, you can create communities, listen to voice messages at accelerated speed, download the business version of WhatsApp and many other things. The app has recently introduced the “spy mode” to prevent others from seeing if we are online. Finally, there is the third blue check. But what is it really for?
WhatsApp introduces the third blue tick: what does it mean?
As we know, the blue tick is used to understand if the recipient has already read the message: the double tick lights up once the user has read the conversation (if not read, it remains gray). If it is single, it indicates that the interlocutor is not connected to the internet. But what is the third blue tick for? Seeing it appear will not be good news, we will say it right away.
Check marks are one of WhatsApp’s iconic symbols. A gray check mark means the message hasn’t arrived; two gray check marks mean the message has arrived but hasn’t been read by the recipient. Finally, two blue check marks mean the message has been read. The app will soon adopt a third blue check mark.
The new feature is currently in the testing phase and only a few users have been able to try it with WhatsApp Beta. Aren’t you curious to know what it will be used for? Well: the appearance of the third blue tick indicates that the recipient has taken a screenshot of the chat, with all that this can entail. The photo could have been taken for many reasons.
The fact is that the introduction of the third tick aims precisely to guarantee greater transparency and more privacy. We can understand it as a warning, a sort of notification to indicate that someone has acquired the chat screen without our knowledge. Once the developers have finished their work, the third tick will be extended to all whatsapp users.https://youtube.com/shorts/pSuqrB1RDbc?si=r9eqlciz8OeZk2gk
