The famous double “tick feature was released by the Whatsaap in 2014. This feature enables one to know if a message has been read by the intended individual(s) or not. As soon as your message is delivered and read by the intended recipient, the blue tick will automatically appear. It’s quite different when it comes to group chat.

Though, it’s much easier to know if the message has been received and read in Whatsapp individual-messaging as compared to Group messaging, which is somehow tricky to know those who has read or skipped reading your message.
