It had already been rumored about it enough times. The appearance of the triple blue WhatsApp check that tells us when a person has taken a screenshot of the conversation they have with us is one of those topics that come up from time to time on social networks. But yesterday afternoon the topic went viral once again thanks to a tweet from actress Ana Milan:
More than 4,000 retweets and 25,000 likes have made this message spread like wildfire and many are quick to wonder if it is true.
But if you are one of those people who always ask their friends their opinion when you are getting to know a person or who likes to have proof of the conversations saved in case they are necessary at some point, you can rest easy. The triple blue check of WhatsApp is nothing more than a hoax of those that run from time to time on social networks, but that have no real basis.
There is no official source that confirms that WhatsApp is considering putting a triple check that notifies the other person that we have taken a screenshot. And it is not the first time that this rumor has spread, so in this case it does not seem to be true that when the river sounds, it carries water.
HOW WHATSAPP TRIPLE BLUE CHECK WORKS
If you have begun to wonder how WhatsApp’s triple blue check works, the first thing to do is calm down: as we have mentioned, at the moment it is nothing more than a hoax.
As you know, WhatsApp now shows a check when the message we have written has been sent and a second check when the other person has received it. In the event that both of you have it activated, the two checks will turn blue when the other reads it.
According to this rumor that has been going around so much in recent days, a new check would be added if we took a screenshot of the conversation.
But, of course, there is no information about how this triple check would actually work. We won’t know if we would have to have it activated as in the case of the read receipt or if it would be intrinsic to the application as the send and receive confirmation. And we have no information about it, simply because it is a hoax . Normally it is a simple comment that someone, in this case Ana Milan, makes on a social network and spreads like wildfire. But since it is not a real function, because nobody knows details of how it would work. In the event that one day it is real, we will have time to know the details.
HOW TO AVOID THE TRIPLE BLUE CHECK OF WHATSAPP
Although we insist once again that it is a hoax and a function that does not exist nor does it seem that it will do so in the short term, many users have begun to share their ideas about how to avoid the triple blue check of WhatsApp . Obviously without any basis, since the function does not exist. But if it ever gets implemented, there are ways you can take a screenshot without being seen.
The easiest way is to put the mobile for a moment in airplane mode . Once you have it offline, make the capture, and then go back online again. In this way, the WhatsApp servers could not know that you have made the capture, so it would go unnoticed.
You can also just copy and paste the text of a message to show it to the person you want to chat with. But the reality is that at the moment you should not do any of this. It is a rumor that comes back from time to time, but it has no basis.
