YOGYAKARTA - The instant messaging application WhatsApp has various features that users can use, including turning off the blue checkmark which is usually used to see whether the message sent has been read by the recipient or not.

However, some WhatsApp users choose to turn off the blue tick in their app so that others don't know if they have read the messages sent or not, in order to maintain privacy.

Often WhatsApp users see the contact they messaged online, but don't reply to their message. Especially if the blue tick in the contact is turned off, so you don't know the sent message has been read or not.

Even so, you can actually find out if messages are sent to people who turn off the blue tick setting on WhatsApp, by using a special trick that will be explained in this article.

To find out whether the sent message has been read, users can check it by creating a WhatsApp chat group, then sending a new message in the group.

If you are still confused about how to do the trick, users can follow the steps that the VOI team has summarized below and practice it directly.

Check Messages Read with WhatsApp Groups

The first step to find out if your WhatsApp chats have been read is to create a WA group containing you and the contact you want to know if they have read your messages.

Next, send a message to the chat group. You can write anything in the group because its function is to know whether your message has been read or not.

After that, you can enter the chat group that you created, and click the three-dot icon in the upper right corner. Click the "Info" menu to see if the message has been read.

A notification will appear that the message has been received by the contact in the group and the message has been viewed. If the message has been seen by a contact in the group then the message you sent privately has been read by that person.

That way, even if the blue checkmark is turned off, you can still know whether the message you sent has been read or not.

After knowing your message has been read or not by the contact, the user can delete the group or leave the group there to check whether your message has been received or not in the same way.

That is the way to find out if the message you sent has been read or not by creating a new group in the WhatsApp application.
