Whatsapp Wiki

WhatsApp, also known as WhatsApp Messenger, is a free and cross-platform instant messaging and voice-over-IP service that is owned by Meta, a US technology conglomerate. Users can send text and voice messages, make voice and video calls, and share various types of content such as images, documents, and location information. The service can be accessed through the mobile client application or on computers. To sign up, users need a mobile phone number. In 2018, WhatsApp released a separate app for businesses called WhatsApp Business, which can communicate with the standard WhatsApp client.

WhatsApp Inc. originally created the service and was based in Mountain View, California. However, it was acquired by Facebook in February 2014 for approximately US$19.3 billion. By 2015, it had become the most popular messaging application in the world and had over 2 billion users worldwide by February 2020. WhatsApp has become the primary means of internet communication in regions including Latin America, the Indian subcontinent, and significant parts of Europe and Africa by 2016

Whatsapp Blue Tick Not Showing 

In WhatsApp, the blue tick is an important feature that indicates a message has been delivered and read by the recipient, setting an expectation of a response. However, users can read messages without the sender being aware by disabling either the gray or blue ticks. WhatsApp is a secure messaging application available on various platforms, including iOS, Android, and desktop computers like Windows 10 and 11, with end-to-end encryption that protects messages and media files from decryption by unauthorized parties. Despite this security, some users may still have concerns about their privacy and choose to disable the gray or blue ticks. By doing so, they can read messages without triggering the blue tick, which can be useful when they are not interested in responding immediately or prefer to read messages without sending a reply.
