However, in easier words, suppose you have sent someone a message or snapped on Snapchat. Snapchat automatically tracks that message and informs you that whether the recipient user has seen your message or not. Now, where can you check this opened status? Well, in case you don’t know from where to check this, follow the steps mentioned below:
How Do The Opened Icons Look Like?
Well, if you use Facebook, you may have noticed that a sent icon appears once you DM someone. So, the opened in Snapchat look similar to that sent icon. But, the fact is this send button is hollow, and whenever you send a message to someone if that hollow appears as a red arrow, which means the snap has no sound, and if purple means snap contains sound effect. Meanwhile, similarly in the case of a simple Snapchat message, if someone opens it, then the color of that arrow will be blue. You can get a deeper idea about this from the below picture.
What Does Received Mean?
Now, you know about the Opened icon, but what does the received mean? Well, it is similar to the opened, but it indicates that whether the recipient gets the message or not. Sometimes, you will only get a send icon that appears below the message you have sent, which means that the recipient may have blocked you or is currently offline, due to which he is not receiving your message. But, even if you get the Received message, that doesn’t mean that the message is read as it is still unread until you see the opened tag. Also, sometimes, you get the delivered status which indicates that the recipient got the message and is well aware that you sent them something on Snapchat but didn’t open it. So, don’t get confused between received and delivered.
