WhatsApp, the text message company bought earlier this year by Facebook for a whopping $19 billion, has introduced new blue ticks overnight.
The new blue ticks mean the recipient has actually read your message. No more “oh I didn’t see it” excuses will work! 😉
The 1 tick means sent, 2 ticks delivered and now 2 blue ticks mean read.
The text messaging service has eclipsed SMS with an user base which is growing exponentially by the week.
The next big stage for the company to is incorporate free calls like Viber or Skype.
