After rolling retired a new icon and previewing respective upcoming features past week, Google Messages is present investigating caller delivered and work presumption indicators.

Today, those with RCS Chat enabled person straightforward “Delivered” indicators and “Read” receipts. Those words simply look beneath your past sent connection betwixt the sent clip and fastener icon for end-to-end encryption (E2EE).

The exertion is present investigating checkmarks for both. On delivery, Google Messages shows a checkmark placed successful a circle, portion the work presumption is past indicated by a 2nd icon that partially overlaps with the first. One upside, and Google’s goal, could beryllium to alteration the ocular width of the accusation that appears underneath a message. Meanwhile, this plan lets Google explicitly convey some statuses.

This is simply a reasonably modular attack to delivered/read successful messaging apps from Signal to Telegram. iMessage conscionable uses text, and that is the amended attack successful our opinion. Checkmarks are ubiquitous and mightiness beryllium much acquainted to people, but being capable to conscionable work retired “Delivered” and “Read” requires little translation, nary substance however evident the icons are.

Fortunately, this looks to conscionable beryllium a trial that astatine slightest 3 radical person received. It’s not rolled retired connected devices we checked this afternoon, and hopefully Google’s investigating volition vindicate the current/old Messages attack to delivered and read.
