WhatsApp is the world’s leading messaging app, and it’s good to know what symbols and prompts mean. Today we stop at one of this symbols, we answer what happens when only a little popcorn appears on WhatsApp.
If we review the figures from the Statista portal, in the month of July 2021 WhatsApp was the most popular instant messaging application with approximately 2,000 million users worldwide, ahead of Facebook Messenger with 1,300 million. In Spain, WhatsApp exceeds 30 million users and we are not only talking about young people , but the platform is the chosen application to communicate in practically all age sectors.
One of the reasons for the success of WhatsApp is its simple and intuitive interface. In addition to being able to send and receive messages, the platform informs us if a contact is online, gives us the possibility to create and use stickers or listen to audio messages without opening them, among many other things.
Every time a message is sent together, ticks or popcorn appear on the right side of it, regardless of whether we send text, photo, video, audio, sticker, or location. Normally, two of these ticks or popcorns appear, but what happens when only one popcorn appears in WhatsApp? We answer you below.
What happens when only a check mark appears in WhatsApp is that your message has been sent successfully, but it has not yet reached your contact . In this case, your message has left your device and has passed through the WhatsApp servers, but it could not be received on your contact’s mobile. This usually happens when your contact’s device is, for example, turned off or out of coverage or has you locked.
HOW TO MAKE ONLY ONE TICK APPEAR IN WHATSAPP
Once you know what happens when only a popcorn appears on WhatsApp, you may be interested at some point in knowing how to make only one tick appear on WhatsApp to temporarily disconnect from receiving messages.
To do this you must temporarily deactivate WhatsApp. When your contacts send you a message, only a tick will appear. To do this, you only have to go to the “Settings” of your phone and search for “Mobile data”. Then scroll down and search for WhatsApp. Then move the controller that appears next to WhatsApp to the left. Keep in mind that you will not receive WhatsApp messages again until you activate mobile data again.
IF ONLY ONE TICK APPEARS IN WHATSAPP, CAN THE MESSAGE BE DELETED?
Many WhatsApp users ask this question , if only one tick appears in WhatsApp, can the message be deleted? The answer is yes. If only one tick appears in WhatsApp, the message can be deleted without it being read by the contact.
You just have to press and hold the message and then click on “delete”. Next, you must choose “delete for everyone” so that the message disappears from both conversations.
WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN SEEN AND READ ON WHATSAPP
If, in addition to wanting to know what happens when only a popcorn appears on WhatsApp, you also want to discover what the difference is between seen and read on WhatsApp , then we will tell you about it.
The truth is that the difference between seen and read is minimal , the seen message is marked with two gray check marks, the read message with two blue check marks. Let’s say the read is confirmation that the contact has read that message. The tick may suggest that, although you have opened it, you have not read it at the time and will do so later.
