What does it mean that the information icon has a green dot?

In modern society, information exchange is an inevitable part of our life. When exchanging information between people, a green dot can indicate that one party has read the information and no other action is needed. Especially in chat software, a green dot indicates that the information has been viewed. This function helps people communicate faster, save time and improve work and life efficiency.

In some cases, the reading state of information can avoid unnecessary misunderstanding. When you don't receive a reply to your message, you may think that the other party hasn't seen your message or is too lazy to reply to you. But the appearance of the green dot can let you know that the information has been read, so you can conclude that the other party has not replied to you, but you can confidently ask the other party if it is needed.

The appearance of green dots is a double-edged sword for some people, because it means that it is difficult for them to hide their status. For example, in the workplace, if you see that a leader has never manually set the green dot status, or has never replied to the message sent to him, then your thoughts may change. Therefore, the emergence of green dots can even prohibit the circulation of information, causing confusion and pressure.
