Can see last seen but only 1 tick?

Answered by John Hunt

It is possible to see the last seen status of a message with only one tick. The two ticks on messaging platforms like WhatsApp typically indicate that a message has been delivered to the recipient’s device. However, the presence of two ticks does not necessarily mean that the recipient has read the message.

When you send a message and see only one tick, it means that the message has been sent from your device but has not yet reached the recipient’s device. This can occur due to various reasons, such as a poor internet connection or the recipient’s device being turned off or out of network coverage. In such cases, the message will remain in the process of being delivered until the recipient’s device establishes a stable internet connection.

It’s important to note that the last seen status only indicates the last time the recipient was active or online on the messaging platform. It does not provide information about whether they have actually read your message. So, even if you can see the recipient’s last seen status, it doesn’t necessarily mean that they have received or read your message.

To determine if the recipient has read your message, you can wait for them to come online on the messaging platform. Once they are active, the two ticks may appear if the message has been delivered to their device. However, there is still no guarantee that they have read your message as they may choose to ignore or not respond to it.

Seeing only one tick indicates that the message has been sent from your device but has not yet reached the recipient’s device. The last seen status only reflects the recipient’s last online activity and does not confirm if they have read your message. To know if your message has been read, you will need to wait for the recipient to come online and see if the two ticks appear.
