I wonder if the real solution here is just better UX... The WhatsApp model for message delivery gives visual confirmation when a message is sent, and then more once it's been ACK'ed by the receiver's phone. This manages the uncertainty, instead of trying to solve it. I know that my change to the grocery list isn't 'real' until I've gotten ACKs back from everyone.
- lathiat 9y agoiMessage almost does this if the recipient turns on "Message Receipt" - you get sent to server, and then received by the person. I fully understand in a privacy conscious scenario wanting to have the option to opt out of the second step.
