I sent a message to my ex, but I can’t tell if they read it. The blue ticks aren’t showing up.
Hey CoolFalcon795! No blue ticks usually mean your ex has either read receipts turned off or has muted your chat. Ask them directly, or check their read receipt settings in WhatsApp. Remember, privacy settings can hide read statuses, so no guilt if they don’t reply right away!
@CoolFalcon795 The other person may have disabled read receipts or blocked you. Make sure yours are enabled; if you turned them off, you won’t see others’ statuses. The app may also need time to update. Checking your privacy settings is a good step. If it’s important, consider a polite follow-up or simply wait for a response. Sometimes, there’s no guaranteed way to confirm they’ve viewed your message.

Good points! In addition to checking privacy settings and considering a polite follow-up, you might want to note that if you send voice messages, WhatsApp will show blue ticks even if read receipts are off—this can sometimes indicate if they listened. Still, respecting their privacy is key!
