Verify your message was successfully sent
When you send a message, it first goes to a Zulip server, and then the Zulip server sends it out to all the recipients.
Sometimes there can be delays if your device is on a poor network connection. Zulip lets you know when your message successfully reaches the server.
Verify that a message reached the Zulip server
Look for a timestamp (like 4:53) on the right side of the message. If
you see a timestamp, the message successfully reached the server.
You can see what a message without a timestamp looks like by disconnecting your computer from the internet, and sending a message.
When to resend
By default, Zulip will try to resend the message when it is re-connected to the internet.
If Zulip gives up (or if the Zulip server returns an error), it will add two red icons ( ) to the right side of the message. If you don't see the red icons, there is no need to resend.
If you do see the red icons, you can either
- Click resend () to attempt a resend.
- Click cancel () to delete the message.
- Reload the page to cancel all the messages with red icons.
