Question

Does the tick after the message mean it has been sent?

Community Answer

Yes, but remember that the tick means the message is sent to the intended recipient. Ticks mean the message has been received by the recipient but not seen it. Ticks (in blue) mean that the message has been received and also read online by the recipient.

Question

How can I create an account?

Community Answer

You do not create an account. You type in your phone number and wait until you get a text message with your activation code. Once you get it, simply type it into WhatsApp and you should get into it. Once you are in, all your contacts who have WhatsApp will appear.
