LinkedIn Message Status Indicators

Last updated: 2 years ago
LinkedIn message status indicators let you know the status of your sent messages. Each message you send will have the following message status indicators:
  • Sending message: Your message is in the process of being sent. If the message fails to send, you’ll see an error message prompting you to try again.
  • Message sent: Your message has been sent successfully and will be delivered to the recipient's inbox.
  • Message read: This indicates that a message has been read. Important: If a recipient has turned off their read receipts and typing indicators, the sender cannot see whether the message has been read or if a response is being typed. In such cases, the message status indicator will continue to show Sent.
