The blue dot on Messenger serves as a visual indicator to let you know the status of your message. When you see a filled-in blue circle next to your message, it means that your message has been successfully delivered to the recipient. This helps provide reassurance that your message has been sent and reached its intended destination.
Additionally, when a friend has read your message, you will see a small version of your friend’s photo appear next to the message. This feature, known as “read receipts,” notifies you that your friend has seen and read your message. It can be quite useful in determining whether or not your message has been acknowledged.
The blue dot and read receipts feature can be particularly handy in situations where you need to ensure that your message has been received and read promptly. It allows for more efficient communication, especially in time-sensitive or important conversations.
It is important to note that read receipts can be turned on or off by individual users. Some people may choose to disable this feature, so you may not always see the small version of your friend’s photo appear next to your message, even if they have indeed read it.
The blue dot on Messenger signifies that your message has been successfully delivered, while a small version of your friend’s photo indicates that the message has been read. These features enhance the communication experience on Messenger and provide valuable information about the status of your messages.
