Summary
A third-party explainer of Telegram's message-state glyphs, consistent with the official FAQ: clock while sending, checks that turn blue on read, and the eye-plus-view-count treatment used by channels instead of checks.
Key findings
- A clock icon marks a message still sending.
- Check marks turn blue once the message is read.
- Channels use an eye icon plus a view count rather than per-recipient checks.
Pros / strengths
- Corroborates the official check semantics from an independent angle.
- The channel eye-plus-views detail fills a gap the FAQ subset did not cover.
Cons / limitations / caveats
- Third-party explainer, not authoritative: useful as corroboration, not as the primary basis for any claim.
- Thin page with no client-version pinning; wording may drift from current clients.
Relevance to tai
Confirms the glyph set tai's transcript rows need (clock, checks with a read color, eye+count for broadcast-style views) without inventing any new states.
