It’s a two-way street if you want the benefit of knowing that someone has read your messages, you will need to grant the same permission by changing your settings back to allow them. Secondly, like we mentioned before, if you have your read receipts turned off, you won’t receive read receipts from others. In this case, you won’t see two blue ticks regardless of if they have read the message or not. There are a couple other explanations for this.įirst, the recipient may have their read receipts turned off. If you send a message and it shows two grey ticks but they never turn blue, this doesn’t mean the message hasn’t actually been read. Why hasn’t my WhatsApp message been read? It can only be done on the mobile devices. You actually can’t turn off read receipts using the WhatsApp Web or WhatsApp Desktop applications.
