Find out why my texts show two 'checks'!

Hello,

My question might seem a bit strange, but why do I have a double check at the bottom of messages in one of my SMS conversations and not in the others?
I'm not paranoid, but the person I'm talking to has a somewhat ... strange recent history. Anyway, can someone tell me more about it?

Thanks, everyone

    Hello,

    Thank you for the response.

    I haven't installed or configured anything. In fact, it only happens in one conversation, as I mentioned. Unless it's the person who set something up?

    Thanks

      Ultimately, it must be new; I have this too with some close ones but not with all! So it must be an update or it's indeed a read receipt from your contact!

    No conspiracy
    You must have certainly set up a read receipt, or installed an app like "Signal," and this icon says that your message has been read!

    Hello

    Is it possible to have some sort of "device identity verification" for the one sending the SMS?

    I saw recently about emails, the one who wants to send an email to X simply can't do it unless they go through this verification, and furthermore, X must first add the correspondent to the authorized devices. That is to say, if X wants to do this verification, either over the phone or in direct face-to-face contact, X communicates their email to a recognized person and puts their device on the authorized list. Other devices not authorized by X cannot even make contact, even if they know the email address.

    If this is highlighted in their messaging system, X can apply it to all their contacts. And everyone who uses the same messaging system as X had the same option at the same time.

    If a similar kind of restriction has been proposed for SMS, there are exchanges between devices even before the messages are transmitted. The checks would just be a record of these exchanges between devices.

    This is just a hypothesis; I've only seen it for emails so far.
