WhatsApp: The Third Blue Tick Is Coming. What Is It About? – Check Here
The messaging application continues to add new functions, and now it will add the third blue tick to reinforce the privacy of the chats.
During the last months, WhatsApp received a lot of criticism in terms of privacy due to the defects it presents. In response to this, the application owned by Meta could implement a new function: third blue tick.
In this way, the new function would be to notify people when someone takes a screenshot of the chat. And also if a screenshot of a WhatsApp group is made, all the members will know it through a notification.
From the beginning, WhatsApp uses four icons to know in what state a message is: the first check mark tells us that the message was sent but the receiver could not receive it because it is offline; the second check mark indicates that the message was sent and received by the person on the other side; and the third icon is the blue double check that tells us that the message was sent, received and read by the person.
Likewise, it should be clarified that this third icon can be deactivated from the settings so that the other user does not see when we read a message. This did not apply to voice memos since when listening to them, the double blue check would appear, regardless of whether this function is activated or deactivated.
On the other hand, the third blue check mark that WhatsApp could apply in a short time, is intended to improve privacy and thus, users are alert that their conversations could be being shared by third parties.
