Here is how buggy messenger delivery status can lead to miscommunication.

Message status: [Sent, Delivered, Read]

My view, after mobile internet went down on my phone at some point:
1. Me: Going home now. [SDR]
2. Julia: We'll be at a grocery store soon, should I pick you up at station A?
3. Me: No, thanks, I'll exit at station B and walk home. [SD]
4. Me: I'll be there in 30 minutes. [S]
5. Me: I'll text you if something happens with the train. []

Julia's view:
1. Alex: Going home now.
2. Me: We'll be at a grocery store soon, should I pick you up at station A? [SDR]
3. Alex: I'll be there in 30 minutes.
4. Me: I am waiting, where are you? [S]
5. Me: FindMy shows you at station B, why? [S]
6, 7, 8, 9

I was considering sending an SMS, but as my 3. was shown as delivered, I did not expect Julia to receive my message 4. only, but not 3. I should probably switch to WhatsApp.
