Read Delivered and Read
Tell whether a message arrived, and whether anybody has opened it.
Delivered means the message reached their phone. Read means somebody opened the conversation. Those are two separate facts.
Delivered says nothing about whether anyone looked. A phone in a coat pocket collects messages all afternoon.
Key points
- Delivered means the message reached their phone
- Read means somebody opened it, and only shows if they allow it
What to remember
- Delivered confirms arrival, and nothing more.
- Delivered is about the phone. Read is about the person.
Try this
Look under the last message you sent. You now know exactly what that small word claims.
