WhatsApp now shows whether your message has been viewed, along with the date and time!

Everyone knows that the WhatsAppIt uses different indicators in conversations to show when a message has just been sent and when it has been received. But now it uses new indicators to show that what you sent has finally been viewed.

All you need to do is update your app to the latest version—no workarounds or anything like that. It will only work with contacts who already have the new version (you and your friend). Check out the meanings:

• V only: message sent; 
• Double V: message received (unread); 
• Double V, blue: Message viewed. 

If you hold down a message for a few seconds, you can see more details about it. When that happens, tap the “I” button (Message Info). There, you’ll find the exact times the messages were delivered and read.

It could mean the end of one problem or the beginning of another! Available for all platforms: Windows Phone, iOS, Android, S40, S60, and BlackBerry.

About WhatsApp

WhatsApp is an instant messaging app for smartphones and mobile devices. It was created in 2009 by Jan Koum and Brian Acton, two former Yahoo! employees. Initially, WhatsApp was developed to offer an efficient and cost-effective alternative to traditional text messaging, especially for international communication.

The main feature of WhatsApp is the ability to send text messages, images, videos, documents, and locations, as well as make voice and video calls over the internet, using the device's data connection or Wi-Fi. The app uses the user's phone number as an identifier and automatically syncs with the phone's contact list.
