Typing Indicators
Typing indicators appear in two places:- Conversation list: shows
typing...for the active conversation preview - Open chat view: shows the animated typing indicator near the bottom of the thread
Typing indicators are only visible while the conversation is active. They are not delivered as notifications.
Delivery and Read States
| State | What it means |
|---|---|
| Sending… | Your message is still in its optimistic send state |
| Sent | BeatPass accepted the message |
| Seen | The message has been read |
| Failed | The send did not complete and can be retried |
- inside the open conversation for your own messages
- in the conversation list as a green double-check when the latest sent direct message has been read
Opening a conversation marks unread messages as read. BeatPass does not expose a toggle to disable read receipts.
Other Live Behaviors
- New messages appear automatically while a conversation is open
- The message icon badge updates as unread counts change
- If a message send fails, BeatPass shows a retry control on that bubble
- If you are scrolled away from the newest messages, the chat view can surface a jump-to-latest cue
Privacy and Visibility
