Blue dot next to messages that I have sent

On my iPhone, I send messages to people and when I open up my Mac, there is a blue dot as if they replied but they didn't send anything back yet. The blue dot does not appear on my phone. Does that mean that the recipient hadn't read it yet or is it only a glitch?

MacBook Air 13″, macOS 12.6

Little Yellow Flag to Right of Message?? (iPhone 13, iOS 16.5.1) For the first time in 11 years of iPhones I noticed a little yellow flag to the right of a message header in the Apple Mail Sent folder for a message to multiple receivers in the BCC field (see image). I also noticed no receivers were listed in the CC/BCC line when I open the message in the Sent folder. However, I called one of the recipients who confirmed he did receive the message. What does a little yellow flag indicate?

Restart the device. That's it.
