    The 'seen' status tells us if someone has received and seen the message that we have sent them
    .
    If the message has not been seen, it says "Delivered". Any messages that are sent to us will also tell the sender if we have seen the message. If we want to turn the 'seen' status off, we need to go to the settings.
