There are always rumours about WhatsApp features that are in development, mainly due to the inclusion of these new features in the test application. One of the most constant speculations is the arrival of a third check, check or read verification.
This rumor has been around for several years, being replicated by international media and even the Meta app itself talked about it in 2022, But until now nothing concrete has been known about the arrival or development of this function.
The rumor originated from information circulating on the Internet. The news that is being spread says that WhatsApp is reportedly working on a feature that would add a third blue checkmark to its read confirmations within chats.
This supposed third check would have the function of alerting users when the recipient takes a screenshot in the conversation. Being a new privacy tool that users would have.
According to reports from various media outlets, the option is in development, but it is not known when it will be officially launched and that by including it in the application, users would be able to enable or disable it according to their preferences.
In addition, they assure that the function would also be available in group chats.so that all participants in the conversation can see when a member takes a screenshot.
However, there is no further information on the rumour, mainly because those who replicate it do not mention any specific source and claim that the option has not yet entered beta phase, that is, it has not yet begun to be tested in the WhatsApp testing application.
We are facing a rumor that has been around for years. Since 2021, reports have emerged with the same information: a feature that is in development and it is not known when it will arrive. This is too long a time to develop a feature, considering that WhatsApp is constantly incorporating improvements and correcting errors.
On the other hand, the app has only talked about this feature once and did so to deny the rumor. “We saw that there is a rumor circulating on Twitter and we wanted to let you know that it is not true,” they responded, from the app’s account on X, to a user in 2022 about the supposed inclusion of the triple blue pimp.

In addition, many of the features coming to WhatsApp are first being tested on the beta app for iOS and Android. This is done in order to determine errors, possible improvements and how users receive the change. This is how we know about the new features that come to the platform long before they are officially launched.
However, development times are not so long as to take three years, especially for such specific privacy-related changes, which has been one of Meta’s recent focuses to provide more protection tools in chats, with the option to send a view-only image or audio being added recently.
This does not mean that the feature has never been considered by the company or that it is not in development, it is something about which there are no official reports for now. But what is clear is that At the moment there is no solid data that the triple check, tick or tick mark is coming and that it will serve to notify users of a screenshot. inside the chat.
