Numerous messenger apps have flooded the market in recent years. But the market leader is and remains Whatsapp. Around two billion people around the world use Messenger.
For them, Whatsapp is part of everyday life. It is therefore extremely important for each individual user to know the app and its functions in detail. It is particularly important that every user understands the individual warnings of the messenger.
Whatsapp: Red exclamation mark following message
Many people receive such a warning at regular intervals in the form of a red exclamation mark following a sent message. Many people are surprised by the symbol and cannot understand what Whatsapp wants to communicate to the user with it. The good news first: The red exclamation mark is no reason to panic.
Nevertheless, users should react immediately when they see the red exclamation mark. Because it signals that your own message might not be sent. Now there is a need for action on the part of the user.
In such cases, the user must tap the red exclamation mark. A small menu box should appear. There the user is offered the option “send message once more”. If you choose this option, Whatsapp will try once more to send the message.
Whatsapp: Red exclamation mark does not go away
If the message still cannot be sent, there might be various reasons for this. On the one hand, the user might not have an internet connection at the respective time. On the other hand, there might have been temporary technical problems with Whatsapp.

Incidentally, users should not confuse the red exclamation mark with the clock, which often appears for a brief moment following sending a message. The clock only signals that Whatsapp is working on delivering the message.
