Understanding WhatsApp Read Receipts

WhatsApp has provided clarity on how read receipts work:

Device Status: If the recipient's phone is turned off or if the message hasn’t been delivered to another device linked to their account, the double blue ticks won’t show.


Group Chats: In group chats, the second blue tick will only appear once all members have received and read the message.

Message Editing: If you edit a message after sending it, the read receipt will reset, and you can check who has viewed your updated message.
