A single grey check means your message has been sent. Two grey checks confirm it\u2019s delivered to the recipient\u2019s device. Two blue checks mean it\u2019s been read.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Understanding these symbols helps you track your conversations without guesswork.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This guide explains what double check marks mean, how they compare to single checks, and what blue check marks indicate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You\u2019ll also learn how to hide your double ticks and check if someone has blocked you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div id=\"ez-toc-container\" class=\"ez-toc-v2_0_82_2 counter-hierarchy ez-toc-counter ez-toc-light-blue ez-toc-container-direction\">\n<div class=\"ez-toc-title-container\">\n<p class=\"ez-toc-title\" style=\"cursor:inherit\">Table of Contents<\/p>\n<span class=\"ez-toc-title-toggle\"><a href=\"#\" class=\"ez-toc-pull-right ez-toc-btn ez-toc-btn-xs ez-toc-btn-default ez-toc-toggle\" aria-label=\"Toggle Table of Content\"><span class=\"ez-toc-js-icon-con\"><span class=\"\"><span class=\"eztoc-hide\" style=\"display:none;\">Toggle<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-icon-toggle-span\"><svg style=\"fill: #999;color:#999\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" class=\"list-377408\" width=\"20px\" height=\"20px\" viewBox=\"0 0 24 24\" fill=\"none\"><path d=\"M6 6H4v2h2V6zm14 0H8v2h12V6zM4 11h2v2H4v-2zm16 0H8v2h12v-2zM4 16h2v2H4v-2zm16 0H8v2h12v-2z\" fill=\"currentColor\"><\/path><\/svg><svg style=\"fill: #999;color:#999\" class=\"arrow-unsorted-368013\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" width=\"10px\" height=\"10px\" viewBox=\"0 0 24 24\" version=\"1.2\" baseProfile=\"tiny\"><path d=\"M18.2 9.3l-6.2-6.3-6.2 6.3c-.2.2-.3.4-.3.7s.1.5.3.7c.2.2.4.3.7.3h11c.3 0 .5-.1.7-.3.2-.2.3-.5.3-.7s-.1-.5-.3-.7zM5.8 14.7l6.2 6.3 6.2-6.3c.2-.2.3-.5.3-.7s-.1-.5-.3-.7c-.2-.2-.4-.3-.7-.3h-11c-.3 0-.5.1-.7.3-.2.2-.3.5-.3.7s.1.5.3.7z\"\/><\/svg><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/a><\/span><\/div>\n<nav><ul class='ez-toc-list ez-toc-list-level-1 eztoc-toggle-hide-by-default' ><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-1\" href=\"https:\/\/lukastechs.com\/blog\/what-does-double-check-mark-mean-on-whatsapp\/#What_Does_2_Grey_Checks_Mean_on_WhatsApp\" >What Does 2 Grey Checks Mean on WhatsApp?<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-2\" href=\"https:\/\/lukastechs.com\/blog\/what-does-double-check-mark-mean-on-whatsapp\/#What_is_the_Difference_Between_Single_Check_and_a_Double_Check_on_WhatsApp\" >What is the Difference Between Single Check and a Double Check on WhatsApp?<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-3\" href=\"https:\/\/lukastechs.com\/blog\/what-does-double-check-mark-mean-on-whatsapp\/#What_Is_the_Difference_Between_One_Tick_and_Two_Ticks_on_WhatsApp\" >What Is the Difference Between One Tick and Two Ticks on WhatsApp?<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-4\" href=\"https:\/\/lukastechs.com\/blog\/what-does-double-check-mark-mean-on-whatsapp\/#Do_Two_Grey_Ticks_Mean_Blocked\" >Do Two Grey Ticks Mean Blocked?<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-5\" href=\"https:\/\/lukastechs.com\/blog\/what-does-double-check-mark-mean-on-whatsapp\/#What_Do_Blue_Check_Marks_Mean_on_WhatsApp\" >What Do Blue Check Marks Mean on WhatsApp?<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-6\" href=\"https:\/\/lukastechs.com\/blog\/what-does-double-check-mark-mean-on-whatsapp\/#How_to_Hide_Double_Tick_in_WhatsApp\" >How to Hide Double Tick in WhatsApp?<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-7\" href=\"https:\/\/lukastechs.com\/blog\/what-does-double-check-mark-mean-on-whatsapp\/#How_Do_I_Know_If_I_Am_Blocked_on_WhatsApp\" >How Do I Know If I Am Blocked on WhatsApp?<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-8\" href=\"https:\/\/lukastechs.com\/blog\/what-does-double-check-mark-mean-on-whatsapp\/#Conclusion\" >Conclusion<\/a><\/li><\/ul><\/nav><\/div>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_Does_2_Grey_Checks_Mean_on_WhatsApp\"><\/span>What Does 2 Grey Checks Mean on WhatsApp?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Two grey check marks (\u2713\u2713) mean your message has been successfully delivered to the recipient\u2019s phone or device.
