They really didn’t have to redesign a text box. Please stop reinventing the wheel. I don’t need another pop up in my life.

    I don’t understand how is it essential to know if someone read your message. Shouldn’t they reply to you if they need to let you know?

    Read confirmation is the first feature I disable on every instant messaging platform. Also delivery confirmation is implemented in standard SMS.

      Mainly because some of the people I know read it and don’t respond, for instance my partner coming home from work and me needing something at the store and she’s driving and can’t respond but pops up on her messages so she knows but can’t respond. It’s really helpful knowing they read it then me not sure wtf is going on.

      Just a scenario riddled with probably lots of flaws but hopefully you get the point.

        If she is driving she cannot click on the message or on “mark message as read” either.

        Legally.

          Some car features allow you to connect your phone and you can have a message read aloud to you through voice command.

      It’s not just read receipts. It’s reactions, replies, and immensely better image quality.
