Whatsapp's Double Check: The Relationship Breaker

What are those check marks next to my messages?

We are glad you asked. These checkmarks are actually very important since they are indicators that acknowledge the delivery of a message. Here is what they mean:

•  - message successfully delivered to the server.
•  - message successfully delivered to the phone of your chat partner.

Note: this does not indicate that the message was read, just that it was delivered.

Also note that in a group chat you will only see one check mark indicating that the message was successfully delivered to the server.
