All you need to know about delivered WhatsApp message

whatsapp messages

When does your WhatsApp message sender know that you’ve read his message?

When you see in preview?
When you open WhatsApp? or
When you tap on your friend’s contact and open the WhatsApp message?

Let’s cover these situations in detail:

WhatsApp has become a must in all the smartphones today.

There is not even a single friend of mine with a smartphone who doesn’t have WhatsApp installed.
It has become one of the most impactful chat client on a mobile phone.
How can you tell if a message that you’d received shows as read to your friend (or) recipient?

I will cover four situations here:
1. The moment your message is received.
2. The moment you preview it.
3. The moment you open WhatsApp
4. The moment you open the WhatsApp message itself.

  • The 1st situation is actually a no-brainer. Unless you are directly on the message itself, reading your friend’s old messages, your sender doesn’t know that you’ve read the message. Which means, he/she will not see a blue tick mark.
  • In the 2nd situation, you can actually preview the received message either by quick preview options (like sliding your finger from top of the mobile screen in Android phones) or using WhatsApp preview widgets on your home screen. This too doesn’t convey to your sender that you’ve read his message.

  • The third situation is little notable here. The moment you open up WhatsApp, it doesn’t show to your sender that you’ve read his message, however it does show you as being ‘Online’. And given to understand that your sender already received a two-tick icon for his sent message, if it shows to him that you are online, it is a sure sign that he can deduce it to be convinced that you at least know now that you’ve received the message, whether you read or not.
  • The last situation, where you open the message itself – again a no brainer because the blue tick mark was designed by WhatsApp (after bought by Facebook) to let your friend/sender know that you’ve read his/her message. Personally, I feel this is annoying as my privacy is killed mercilessly here. Anyway, sometimes it’s useful when I want to know if my last sent hate message is read by my friend who just forgot to wish me on my birthday. 🙂

So, now you know what that blue tick mark is and how to decipher that change.

WearFin – A Wearable Thumb Gadget – A Breakthrough Invention By An Indian

by 1 Comment

Technology keeps changing everyday. There is some new invention in some part of the world every day. Only some ideas make to the top and get named as Facebook, Google, Apple and become a huge fan following brands. Though we come across many such ideas daily, only few makes our heads turn and in this case the fingers.

“Fin” is a small wearable device that can be worn on your thumb as a ring and it can convert your palm into a gesture controlled station. This project has raised about $202,448 from some 1500+ people around the world who have pre-ordered the product as well.

This new invention is by an Indian from a state that is commonly known as God’s own country, Kerala. Rohildev N, is a 23 year old young grad from Kathir College of Engineering in Coimbatore, Tamil Nadu. Few months ago, he had setup his own startup, RHL Vision Technologies.

RHL Vision Technologies was among 50 startups shortlisted from around the world to pitch and showcase their ideas at Pioneers Festival, one of Europe’s largest startup events, held in Vienna last year. It was one of the top 15 companies (from 11 countries) at the TechCrunch CES Hardware Battlefield in Las Vegas this year, a competition for hardware startups. And Rohildev would have been the youngest speaker at the Mobile World Congress in Barcelona in February.

Worn as a ring on your thumb, this device can be used to control virtually any bluetooth and infrared based devices like TV Remote controls, SmartPhones, Wheelchairs, iPods, Cameras, and can be used in many other ways.

“There’s no effort, no stress. Unlike other touchless technologies, you don’t have to raise your hand, wave your arms, nothing that tires you,” says Rohildev.


Fin will be priced at $120 each, but that cost could come down with mass manufacturing. The first shipments are expected in September. “The Indiegogo campaign helped us identify some good manufacturers and distributors too. Many want to fund us now. We expect to finalize a $1 million funding in another month,” says Rohildev.

All the best to the team!
