At present, WhatsApp uses two ticks to inform the sender that a message has been delivered to the intended receiver. These ticks turn Blue once the receiver has read a particular message.
A survey found that around 30% of Indians used WhatsApp for COVID-19 information, while 13% of respondents said they never fact-checked messages before forwarding on the messaging app.

Fact Check: Will WhatsApp now show three red ticks?
WhatsApp and other social media apps including Facebook and Twitter have been buzzing on the news lately. The Indian government has rolled out new IT rules, which force these social media giants to allow a compliance officer to work with them on the content that people will be posting. With this being the case, many people have been getting fake messages about how the government might even track WhatsApp calls. Is that correct? Letâs find out here.
A new message that has been circulating on WhatsApp reads, âTwo blue ticks, and one red tick means the government can take action against, while three red ticks will mean that the government has started court proceedings against you.â While this message might sound like an official warning, it is a fake message. WhatsApp has not made any official announcement regarding the same anywhere which clearly indicates it is yet another fake WhatsApp forward.
