What Does the Check Mark on a LinkedIn Message Mean?
Have you ever wondered what the check mark on a LinkedIn message means? If so, you’re not alone. Many LinkedIn users have the same question. In this blog post, we’ll take a closer look at the check mark on LinkedIn messages and explain what it means. We’ll also discuss some of the latest trends and developments related to LinkedIn messaging.
When you send a message on LinkedIn, you’ll see a check mark next to the message. This check mark indicates that your message has been sent and delivered to the recipient. However, it does not necessarily mean that the recipient has read your message.
Message Statuses
There are three message statuses that you may see on LinkedIn:
- Sent: This means that your message has been sent and delivered to the recipient, but they have not yet opened it.
- Delivered: This means that the recipient has opened your message, but they have not yet replied.
- Read: This means that the recipient has opened your message and read it.
The check mark on a LinkedIn message will change depending on the message status. If the check mark is gray, it means that your message has been sent but not yet delivered. If the check mark is black, it means that your message has been delivered but not yet opened. If the check mark is blue, it means that your message has been opened and read.
Notifications
In addition to the check mark, you may also see a notification next to a LinkedIn message. This notification will tell you when the recipient has opened or read your message. You can also turn on notifications for messages from specific people. To do this, click on the “Notifications” tab in your LinkedIn settings. Then, click on the “Messaging” tab and select the people you want to receive notifications from.
