How To Fix WhatsApp Read Receipt Error On Android And iPhone?

To fix WhatsApp Read Receipt errors on Android and iPhone, follow these concise steps:

Android:

1. Open WhatsApp.
2. Tap the three-dot icon at the top and select Settings.
3. Choose Privacy.
4. Scroll down and toggle on the Read Receipts option if it's off.

iPhone:

1. Open WhatsApp.
2. Tap the Settings icon at the bottom-right corner.
3. Go to Privacy.
4. Scroll down and toggle on the Read Receipts option if it's off.

Additional troubleshooting steps:

• Check Blocked Contacts: Ensure that you haven't blocked the contact in question. On Android, go to WhatsApp Settings > Privacy > Blocked Contacts, and on iPhone, Settings > Privacy > Blocked. Unblock if necessary.
• Force Quit and Relaunch WhatsApp: On iOS, swipe up and hold from the home screen to get a list of background apps, find WhatsApp, swipe it up to remove it, then relaunch it. On Android, tap the WhatsApp app icon, long-press, and tap App Info, then Force Stop, confirm, and reopen the app.
• Update WhatsApp: Check for updates in the app store or play store, and install any available updates.

If all else fails, consider checking if WhatsApp servers are down, and wait for the issue to be resolved if that's the case.

Remember that if the recipient has disabled their own Read Receipts, you won't receive a double blue tick notification, and there's nothing you can do to change that on your end.
