Read Receipts: If the recipient has disabled read receipts, you won’t see the blue ticks even if they read the message.
-
Blocked Contacts: If someone blocks you, your messages will remain at one grey tick.
-
Internet Connection: Messages may be delayed or stuck at the clock icon if you're offline or have a weak connection.
