iMessages show as Delivered on all devices except the one used to send the message

[Dj64Mk7]

I go to send an iMessage from my iPhone to a number that is not in my contacts, and, on my iPhone, there is no read or delivered receipt. But, on my MacBook and Apple Watch, the message is displayed with a "Delivered" receipt. Vice versa if I send a message from my MacBook.

I have seen this happen, too. For me, it has meant that the message was NOT delivered.

Just wanted to add my experience; I don’t know why this happens.
