Question

What does it mean when I send a message to someone on WhatsApp and it shows one tick mark and two tick marks?

Community Answer

One tick mark means the message is sending; two tick marks mean the message is received. If the two tick marks are blue, your message has been seen.

Question

How can I check if someone is online when their online status is hidden?

Community Answer

You need to go onto the Whatsapp settings and click on account and privacy, then click on Last Seen to everyone. You probably can't see their's, because your's is off!

Question

How can I know that my contact removed me from his contact list?

Depending on the other person's settings, you might know a contact has removed you from their contacts if you cannot see their most recent profile picture.

Question

If I log onto WhatsApp, but don't click on an individual chat, will it register that I am online to everyone?

Pimemorized

Top Answerer

Yes. Just opening the app changes your last seen. You can, however, turn this feature off in your settings.

Question

My contact suddenly never shows online anymore. I can see his profile pic. Does this mean he has removed me from his saved contacts?

Pimemorized

Top Answerer

If you can see his profile photo, but not his last seen, this would mean he has hidden his last-seen in his settings. No one would be able to see his last-seen.

Question

Can someone be online and typing secretly so I cannot see the typing header?

Pimemorized

Top Answerer

There are two ways someone could be online without anyone else being able to see. One way, is by turning off the last-seen feature in their settings. The other way would be to reply to messages straight in the notifications. Any messages sent straight through notifications does not change your last-seen.

Question

Does my contact know whether I am in their chat window or not when I am online?

Pimemorized

Top Answerer

No. Your contact will not know which chat window you are on. However, if they send a message, it will immediately turn into two blue checks, which will alert them that you are in their chat window.

Question

If their "last seen" with time status appears when I open my Whatsapp to check my last sent message, does that mean they last saw my chat message or just was their last chat with someone else?

Pimemorized

Top Answerer

The last seen is the last time they opened Whatsapp, not the last time they were on your individual chat. If your messages have two blue checks, that means they read your message.

Question

How do I check group members on WhatsApp who are online?

Pimemorized

Top Answerer

You would go to each member's individual chat with you, and under their name, it will tell you if they are online or their last-seen.

No, there is no way to know how many times someone opened your chat. You can only see what time they read your most recent message for the first time.

Question

Can I see if two people are chatting with one another in my contact list on WhatsApp?

Community Answer

No, you cannot tell. All you can see is they are both online. However, some also will hide their notification so you cant see their status online. Just try to call when it appears busy they’re using video or audio call.

Question

How can I tell if the person I want to video chat is online?

Community Answer

Click on the person's chat then you will see "online" just below their name, and if you already place a call, if they are online, then it will say "ringing" but if not, it will stay on "calling".

Question

Do contacts see when I check if they're online?

Community Answer

No, not unless they have sent you a message and you haven't read it yet, so when you go into those, they will see you have read their message unless you have turned off your read receipts.

Question

I can't see a contact's profile photo anymore, but I can see his status. Does that mean he removed me from his contact list?

Community Answer

Maybe the person removed his profile photo, but as long as you are still seeing his status, he didn't block you.

How do I know if someone is on WhatsApp if they blocked me?

You won't, as you won’t be able to see the person's profile pic, status or last seen.

Question

Why would my WhatsApp show that someone is offline when they are online?

Community Answer

Because they are using their notifications drop down bar to communicate so you won't see that they are online.
