The Ultimate Guide to Snagging that Elusive Blue Tick on WhatsApp: From Humble beginnings to High Society
Ah, the blue tick. The bane of some, the badge of honor for others. That little checkmark that seems to whisper, "I've made it to the WhatsApp big leagues!" But my friends, fret not! Even if your profile pic is a blurry potato and your most lit status update was "feeling hungry" in 2012, that blue tick can be yours. Just follow this handy-dandy guide, and soon you'll be swimming in a sea of double chins (thanks to close-up profile pics, a requirement for all blue tick hopefuls apparently).
How To Get Blue Tick On Whatsapp |
Step 1: Cultivate an Aura of Mystery (or Just Inactivity)
They can't see you if you're not there. Disappearing acts are all the rage these days. Beyonce does it, David Copperfield does it, and now you're gonna do it too. Minimize your WhatsApp usage. Pop in for a fleeting two seconds every fortnight, just to leave everyone hanging with a single word message like "intriguing..." Bonus points for cryptic statuses that reference obscure philosophy or feature emojis nobody understands.
Tip: Summarize the post in one sentence.![]()
Step 2: The Art of the Selective Response (Master this, and the blue tick is practically in the bag)
Not everyone deserves the honor of an immediate reply. Especially not those pesky group chats that explode with notifications faster than a toddler with a box of fireworks. Let them stew in the anxiety of your delayed response. Are you busy negotiating world peace? Writing the next great American novel? Or maybe you're just, you know, taking a very important nap. The possibilities are endless!
QuickTip: Don’t just scroll — process what you see.![]()
Pro Tip: If someone messages you directly, consider replying a day or two later with a nonchalant, "Oh hey, didn't see this before!" Act natural. Like responding to a message a week later is the most normal thing in the world.
Tip: Watch for summary phrases — they give the gist.![]()
Step 3: Become a Social Media Chameleon (Because apparently blue ticks are contagious?)
Follow every celebrity, influencer, and even that weird pigeon lady down the street. Like every single post. Comment nonsensical things like "yasss kween" and "living your best life!" (Don't worry, they won't notice you. Probably.) The key here is to bathe yourself in the reflected glory of those who already have the blue tick. Maybe some of that verification dust will rub off on you!
QuickTip: Treat each section as a mini-guide.![]()
Alternatively: Befriend someone famous (good luck with that).
Step 4: The Power of Manifestation (Okay, this one's a long shot, but hey, it can't hurt!)
Look yourself in the mirror and repeat after me: "I am worthy of the blue tick. I am a social media influencer in the making. My profile picture, while blurry, is full of character." Chant this daily, visualize the blue tick glowing next to your name, and believe. With enough dedication and maybe a sprinkle of good luck, the WhatsApp gods might just take pity on you.
Disclaimer: There's no actual evidence that chanting works. But hey, if it gets you through the day...
In all seriousness, the blue tick is cool and all, but don't lose sight of the fact that WhatsApp is for connecting with people. So put down this guide, grab your phone, and send a funny meme to that friend you haven't spoken to in ages. Real connections are way more valuable than a fancy blue checkmark.
