Read receipts and false assumptions

[SimmonsNyla]

Hello! Professionals often rely on read receipts to track responses, but confusion still happens. How do read receipts create false assumptions, and why can they fail as a communication signal?

Hello! While reading on https://echodittolabs.org/ I realized that read receipts are frequently misunderstood. The article explained that a receipt only reflects technical interaction, not awareness or understanding. I learned that automatic previews or shared inboxes can trigger receipts unintentionally. The platform suggested that relying on receipts can lead to frustration when expectations aren’t met. Clear follow-ups and explicit confirmations are more reliable. Read receipts are a weak indicator when used without context.
