WhatsApp radically changed the way of publishing statuses on your instant messaging service, because now you no longer have to access the tab with the same name to see them, but the stories will appear on the profile photo of your contacts, so it will be easier to discover if someone has posted a photo, video or text; however, millions of users have observed the green, lead and blue circles, what does each mean? It is something that from Depor we will detail immediately.
Each color represents something different and it is important that you know its true meaning, especially if you have the read confirmation turned on, since the other user will know that you viewed their status at a certain time. It is necessary to highlight that the colors change depending on the phone with the iOS or Android operating system where you use your WhatsApp account.
Meaning of the colored circles that appear in the profile picture
- Blue Circle: This color means that a user uses WhatsApp from an iPhone and has just published a “Status”, it also indicates that you have not yet opened or viewed it.
- green circle: As in the case mentioned above, it means that the contacts have also just published a status but in the version of WhatsApp for Android, it still appears because you have not seen the story.
- gray circle: If you notice that there are some circles or lines that form a gray circle around the profile photo, it means that you have already viewed some statuses, however, you can view them again as many times as you want within 24 hours of the user seeing it. shared, when you do it again it will not mark the current time.
Why does your WhatsApp contact not appear “Online” or “Typing…”?
- There are only three possible reasons why the features we mentioned above won’t show up when you get a reply to a message.
- The first, when they perform the trick of activating the airplane mode> then they answer the message of WhatsApp > close the app with the “Home” or “Start” button > and proceed to deactivate the mode > this will make the connection “Online” and “Writing…” not appear.
- The second, when they have been downloaded WhatsApp Beta, the test program of the app where they can use the new features before everyone else. In the Android Beta version it is possible to hide the “Online” for “Everyone”, but the “Typing…” is not possible yet.
- Third and last, when they hide these words with the help of an “Unofficial” version of WhatsApp, like WhatsApp Plus, GB, Fouad, etc., they are altered APKs with more features than the stable version.
- In the case of Android devices, a secret menu will appear.
- In it we can appreciate not only the function to share, application information or delete.
- But also the name of the last 4 people with whom we have spoken.
- That way we can start a chat quickly with that user.
- However, in iPhone devices there is an interesting thing.
- If we press the WhatsApp icon in the Apple terminals, another menu will appear.
- There we can not only our QR code, start a new chat or search for a conversation.
- We also have the option to “Edit home screen”, “Share app” or “delete app”.
- But the most interesting is the “hidden camera”.
- If we press it automatically we can send a photo that we have taken to our friends or publish it in our states
- Now that you know it, then try it, it will seem interesting to you.
