What Does It Mean When a WhatsApp Message Has One Tick?

When you send a message on WhatsApp, you may have noticed that there are two blue ticks that appear once the recipient has received it. But what does it mean when a WhatsApp message only has one tick?

A single tick on WhatsApp means that the message has been sent from the sender’s phone successfully but the recipient’s phone hasn’t yet received it. It indicates that the message is in transit and is yet to be delivered.

This could be due to various reasons such as network connectivity issues, phone being switched off or out of coverage area, etc. The delivery of messages is usually instantaneous, but in case of any delays, this single tick would be visible.

Another thing to note is that if you’re sending messages to multiple people in a group chat and one of them doesn’t receive your message for some reason, then only one tick will be visible for that particular person. Similarly, if someone sends you a message but you don’t receive it due to any of the aforementioned reasons, then they will only see one tick mark.

Conclusion

In conclusion, when a WhatsApp message has one tick it means that the message has been sent from the sender’s phone successfully but it hasn’t yet been received by the recipient’s phone due to some network or other issues. It indicates that the message is still in transit and not yet delivered.
