What is being left on delivered?

Being left on delivered is a term used in messaging applications such as WhatsApp, iMessage, and Facebook Messenger. It means that the message has been successfully delivered to the recipient's device, but the recipient has not yet seen or opened it.

When a message is sent, it goes through two phases: delivery and read. In the delivery phase, the message is successfully delivered to the recipient's device but is yet to be read. Once the recipient opens the message, it moves to the read phase, and the sender is notified that the message has been read.

Being left on delivered can indicate various things, such as the recipient not being active on their device, not checking their messages often, or not interested in the conversation. It can be frustrating for the sender, especially when they need to receive a response or confirmation.

In some cases, messaging applications allow users to turn off read receipts or hide their online status, making it difficult to determine if they have seen the message. It is essential to understand that being left on delivered does not necessarily mean the recipient is ignoring you; they might be busy or unable to respond at the moment.
