According to the official page, deactivating the blue tick feature or reading message reports does not apply to WA group chats. So the status of read messages can still be checked via the group chat room.
So, detikers can do the following trick to find out whether the WA message sent has been read or not even though the blue tick is disabled:
1. Open the WhatsApp Group that is Joined Together
- Open one of the shared WA groups, where detikers and the recipient of the message in question are part of it.
- Send a message in the group.
- Wait a moment.
- After that, tap and hold the message that was sent earlier. Click the letter ‘i’ icon or message info in the top bar.
- A list of group members who have seen the message will appear.
- Detikers can check whether the person in question has read the message sent or not.
2. Create a WhatsApp Group Together
- Create a WA group with the intended recipient.
- Send a message in the group.
- Wait a moment.
- After that, tap and hold the message that was sent earlier. Click the letter ‘i’ icon or message info in the top bar.
- Check whether the person in question has seen the message sent or not.
The option to create a shared WA group can be tried if detikers and the intended recipient are not members of any WhatsApp group. Good luck!

The Blue Tick Conundrum: Cracking the Code of Message Read Status on WhatsApp
So, WhatsApp has this notorious little feature— the blue tick— that informs you when your message has been read. And let’s be honest, nothing quite says “you’ve been ignored” than those two little blue checks when you’re eagerly awaiting a reply. But of course, some users, for various stealthy reasons, have disabled this feature. Might I add, they probably have some riveting secrets they’re not ready to disclose. Well, fear not, my fellow digital sleuths! There’s a way to uncover whether your message has been read, blue ticks be damned!
How To Know If a WA Message Has Been Read Even If the Blue Tick Is Not Active
Now, here’s a cheeky little tip: despite the blue tick being turned off, you can still play detective if the recipient is part of a WhatsApp group. Yes, yes, WhatsApp has made it a tad easier to uncover the truth, and let’s admit, we love a good gossip from the group chat.
Step 1: Open a WhatsApp Group You’re Both In
- First, find that WhatsApp group you both share— you know, the one where all your friends rant about their week as if they’re auditioning for a soap opera.
- Send a message in the group. Don’t hold back. Just send that ‘what’s up’ or your latest rant about how you’re not ready to deal with Monday.
- Wait a moment; maybe even grab some popcorn for this riveting adventure.
- Then, hold your finger on the message you sent. You’ll see a little ‘i’ icon pop-up above— click on that!
- Voilà! A list of all the group members who’ve seen your message will appear. Time to play detective!
Step 2: Create a WhatsApp Group Together
- Okay, maybe you don’t have a group with the recipient. Never fear! You can create one! Just think of it as creating an exclusive club that you both didn’t know you needed.
- Send a message in your snazzy new group— anything from “Hello!” to “Do you prefer cats or dogs?”
- Same drill now! Tap and hold your message, click on that charming little ‘i’ icon again.
- And look at that! You will see if that elusive recipient has seen your heartfelt message or if they’re just leaving you on read.
There you have it! A fool-proof way to navigate your way through the murky waters of message read statuses without the blue tick. While we’re all on this quest for communication clarity, remember, sometimes silence speaks volumes. Or maybe they just forgot to respond… yet again!
Happy messaging, and may your digital conversations be ever enlightening!

Jakarta –
WhatsApp (WA) features a blue tick that serves as an indicator, letting users know that their sent message has been read by the recipient. However, various users opt to disable this feature for privacy or personal reasons, which means that senders are left unaware if their messages have been acknowledged.
But there is a clever workaround to discover whether a recipient has indeed viewed a WhatsApp message, even in cases where the blue tick feature has been disabled. Curious about how it works? Read on for the method outlined below.
How to know if a WA message has been read even if the blue tick is not active
As noted by detikcom, one effective way to determine if your WhatsApp message has been read, even when blue ticks are turned off, is by checking the read status in a WhatsApp group chat.
According to WhatsApp’s official guidelines, disabling the blue tick feature or read receipts does not affect message operations in group chats. Therefore, you can still confirm the read status of messages within a group chat room.
To find out if your sent WhatsApp message has been read despite the blue tick being deactivated, you can follow these steps:
1. Open the WhatsApp Group that is Joined Together
- Open one of the shared WA groups that both you and the recipient are members of.
- Send a message in the group chat.
- Wait for a brief moment.
- Then, tap and hold onto the message you just sent. Click the ‘i’ icon or message info in the top bar.
- A list will appear showing the group members who have seen your message.
- You can easily check whether the specific person has read your sent message or not.
2. Create a WhatsApp Group Together
- If you’re not already in a group, create a WhatsApp group that includes the intended recipient.
- Send a message in this newly created group.
- Wait for a brief duration.
- Next, tap and hold the message you just sent and select the ‘i’ icon or message info in the top bar.
- This will allow you to verify if the intended recipient has seen the message.
Creating a shared WhatsApp group is a viable option when you and the recipient are not part of an existing group. Good luck!

**Interview with Digital Communication Expert, Sarah Luthfi**
**Editor**: Welcome, Sarah! Today we’re discussing the blue tick feature on WhatsApp and the clever workaround users have found to see if messages have been read. What has the response been like regarding this feature?
**Sarah Luthfi**: Thanks for having me! The blue tick feature has sparked a lot of conversation. Many users appreciate the transparency it provides, while others prefer to keep their read status private. Those who disable the blue ticks often do so for personal reasons, like wanting to maintain boundaries in digital communication.
**Editor**: Right, and for those who might feel left in the dark if they don’t receive a response, it seems there’s a way to check if their messages were read anyway. Can you walk us through that?
**Sarah Luthfi**: Absolutely! If you find yourself in a situation where the blue ticks are off, check if you and the recipient belong to a mutual WhatsApp group. You can send a message in that group, and then simply tap and hold on your sent message to see who’s viewed it. This feature remains active in group chats regardless of individual settings.
**Editor**: That’s quite resourceful! What if the sender and recipient aren’t in a group together?
**Sarah Luthfi**: Great question! In that case, the sender can create a new group with the recipient. It’s a simple way to get around the blue tick issue—send a message in the newly created group, and once again, you can check who’s read it by tapping on the message.
**Editor**: Interesting! Are there any ethical considerations we should keep in mind when using these workarounds?
**Sarah Luthfi**: Definitely! While it’s tempting to try to ascertain if someone has read your message, it’s essential to respect their privacy. Communication is a two-way street, and if someone chooses not to engage, it’s vital to be understanding rather than intrusive.
**Editor**: Wise words! So, it seems these functionalities make it both easier and more complex to navigate communication on WhatsApp.
**Sarah Luthfi**: Exactly! Technology offers tools to enhance our communication, but with those tools come the need for mindfulness. The key is to strike a balance between curiosity and respect for others’ choices.
**Editor**: Thank you for sharing your insights with us today, Sarah!
**Sarah Luthfi**: My pleasure! Happy messaging, everyone!
