Tips

culture
Borrowed via Taiwan / LINE messaging culture (where read receipts are default) into mainland usage, even though WeChat famously doesn't show read receipts. Now broadly used for 'ignored my message' regardless of whether you can actually see the read status. Opposite: 秒回 (to reply instantly).
usage
Four-character pattern 已读 + . Commonly forms 已读不回 'the league of leave-on-read offenders'.
