It is worth saying that the message is sent instantly and it will come immediately to a friend. Another question is when he looks. How to check it? If there are no marks on the avatar, then this indicates that he has not yet read the message. If the avatar is illuminated by a green box, then it is read. If the picture or video is evaluated in the Direct, then you will see a heart.
