Does anybody know what the blue dot Is on the icon next to the person's name in the text message app? Only shows there. Only on select contacts.

I want to remove this blue dot. It is only on one of my 96 contacts. I also dont want to know when this person reads my messages

It's not the same carrier as in ATT OR Verizon, it's the same brand and type of phone on my messages. It only shows the blue for on the S10+ on mine. My son has a Samsung as well as Multiple others in my family, it only shows the blue for on the people with the same S10+ as me.

My wife and I have two  different phones and she has a blue dot,  and my daughter who i have the exact phone does not.

It's actually "Advanced messaging" 

So whoever's has that enabled on their samsung/Att phone. It will show u. I tested it out with a few of my family members and sure enough it was it. When I turned it off the blue dot went away and when I turned it on. I can see all the blue dots and they can see mine.
