How many times have we wondered what exactly it means the symbol of double check on WhatsApp? We all know that 'a check' means that the message has been sent correctly, but it has never been known with certainty if the double check that appears later is because the recipient has read the message or we simply receive that notification because the message has been received. correctly.
A very general doubt to which WhatsApp has ended today with a short and direct message on Twitter: «For your information: the brand of double check it does not mean that the message has been read - it simply was sent to the recipient's device.
This is how one of the most widespread beliefs in the world of free messaging is broken: double checking does not imply that the other person has opened the application and has read the message.
That has always been in the WhatsApp FAQ:

Just as the "online" status does not mean that the person is using WhatsApp at the moment:

A greeting!
Then throw this short to the ground hahaha - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XjCUrU-9eIU
The short is very good. I have it reserved for another post 😉
It is as simple as sending a message to a colleague with the phone next to it and looking ..., has no one really stopped to check?
Of course, but some are always left with doubts ... especially couples ... xD
It was as easy as looking at the time of the last connection of the person you write to once you have the double check ...
Well, I have proven that it is not entirely true. If you send a whatsapp from any phone to an Android device, the double check does appear right at the moment (when it has reached the phone), but if you send a whatsapp to an iOS device, note that the double check only comes out when the person has seen the message and has opened whatsapp, that is, has connected.
That is false ... not in my case we go
The double-check actually means that the message has reached the recipient. For this to happen, the team's app must go to the WhatsApp servers to get the message.
What happens with iOS devices as with BBs, is that multitasking is not real in most apps. If we exit WhatsApp, the process remains in a state similar to the "zombie" of Unix. If a long time passes, it "dies" ... Therefore, even if we receive the PUSH notification that there is a new message, until the app is run so that it goes to look for it, the message is not considered as « delivered '(or sent to the recipient) ...
On Android, the process remains active in memory, therefore, upon receiving the PUSH, the app immediately goes to look for the message.
Tremendous way of explaining! 🙂 You are correct, while the app is closed there is no way for the message to be marked as received. That is why in iOS the logical thing would be to think that only when the person opens WhatsApp, the sender is notified that the receiver has received the information. Cool No ?! Hehehehe iOS is unique! That's why I love it! 🙂
Xavi you are absolutely right. Between iOS, double checks only come out if the person who receives the message enters the application to see what you have sent. But if you send a message to an Android Smartphone, the double check is automatically marked even if the recipient has not read it. I do not know why those of WhatsApp have not realized that detail, sending that tweet.

Pablo, everyone has seen that video already Oo
Pablo, everyone has seen that video already: - /
Exactly, as Xavi says, contrary to Android, in iOS we must at least open WhatsApp so that the «Double check» appears, we can know perfectly what the message is by looking at it in the Notification Center without the «Double check» being done.
Well, I disown it, I just tried it with my wife, iPhone 4s and iPhone 3gs, and until she opened the wasap, the second check did not come out.
Is this not marketing to avoid separations and fights between Wasapian couples? XD
hahahahahahahahahahahahaha That is good! 🙂
I deny it too. I have tried it many times with different people who do not believe it and the result is always the same. They send the message, and they get a check-in, I get as received as a notification, that is, I know what the message says without entering WhatsApp. And I let the minutes pass…. and only a check appears. After five minutes you go to WhatsApp to read what you already know is going to put ... and then it just seems to them the double check ...
PS great the short 😀
When will you be able to make groups of 15 people on WhatsApp on IOS, as can you do on Android?
Greetings.
It happens that in iOS devices, for some crazy reason the whatsapps disconnects when it goes to the background .. Even if the notification reaches us, notice that when we enter it says “connecting” and incidentally the message they sent us comes back.
That is why the double check does not happen at once ... Try it with the whatsapps open in the chat window ... And you will see as if you mark the double check ^^ ..
Greetings.
It is something that I already knew and it is something that I had already tried and some acquaintances did not believe, also when entering a conversation the date on which this person opened WhatsApp for the last time appears, and when it goes online it is because it is open at that moment
I do not know why so much need to explain since in the wasap's own FAQ everything is well chewed ... at least it was clear to me a long time ago.
To know if a person has read your message (and not even with 100% accuracy) is that once you have the double check, the connection time of him / her is later.
that was in the faqs of the software of a lifetime, it spread because people do not like to read the manuals before using them but it gives them problems
I agree with Aday. THAT WAS IN THE FAQS of the website from the beginning of WhatsApp, practically. But since nobody reads ... STFW, RTFM for all those who think it's a novelty 😛
In iOS, in the messages that I send to groups, the double checks do not appear but the message arrives. Weird thing
LIE! double check is that the device has arrived YES or YES, whatever they say, another thing is that it has been read or not .. BUT GETTING ARRIVED!
Well, it can be more than 10 already on iPhone, on the internet there is a piece of code that easily with ifile you put it into the program and that's it ... the maximum group I have is 15 with what I don't know if it is possible more ,,, I guess so ... I also have to clarify that this did not work before the penultimate WhatsApp patch
I want to be clear about the following, when a contact appears online, is he chatting? Or maybe you just have the application open, without writing? I appreciate your help in answering this question.
Why have Several Whatsap been left unread with a single check mark and they have never been read? however the next day below those that have not been read if they have been read.
