Understanding the One Grey Tick on WhatsApp
When you send a message on WhatsApp and see a single grey tick next to it, you may wonder what it means. This article will explain the significance of this tick and what actions you can take in response.
Delivery Status
The grey tick indicates that your message has been successfully sent from your device to WhatsApp’s server, but it has not yet been delivered to the recipient’s device. This could be due to the recipient being offline, having a poor internet connection, or their WhatsApp being inactive.
Potential Reasons for One Grey Tick

- Recipient’s internet connection is weak
- Recipient’s WhatsApp is uninstalled or not active
What to Do Next
If you see a single grey tick for an extended period, consider the following actions:
- Resend the message when the recipient is online
- Check with the recipient if they have received the message
- Ensure your internet connection is stable
