Red dot showing on contacts

[IsaacSpence]

Edit:Turns out that its just an indicator letting you know that the newly implemented RTS feature is usable for both you and that person. Not everyone has it though. From what ive learned its basically a feature that acts like Facebook Messenger instead of regular text messaging (being able to see if your text is read and so-on)

Hello, I recently have been getting red dots, much like the blue ones, on my contacts list. There is little knowledge of what this is on the internet, and it can't mean that I'm blocked because it's on some of my close friends contacts. Anyone got an idea on what it means? PS, it just turned blue for a LOT of my contacts now

What does the red dot by a contact picture in Samsung messages mean?

[redSKINNEDbeing]

Hmm, unread message

[Megamo]

I figured it out. Samsung said it means they are "active"

Is active the same as busy? And where did you find the answer please? I'm so confused 😕

[MaeMaw]

Can anyone please tell me what this pink dot on my contacts mean it's not on all of them please let me know

[PeaLove54]

Hi, I'm asking same question. Does it mean we are on the same network or does it mean they are busy? Anyone know for sure?

Has anyone figured this out? How to change or disable it? My contact on my husband's phone is blue but on my phone my contact for my husband is red.

My mom is having this same issue. Her nor my aunt can text each other. Now she has alot more contacts in red that aren't receiving her texts, and they aren't getting hers either!! What is this??
