Red dot showing on contacts (2023)

Edit:Turns out that its just an indicator letting you know that the newly implemented RTS feature is usable for both you and that person. Not everyone has it though. From what ive learned its basically a feature that acts like Facebook Messenger instead of regular text messaging (being able to see if your text is read and so-on)

Hello, I recently have been getting red dots, much like the blue ones, on my contacts list. There is little knowledge of what this is on the internet, and it can't mean that I'm blocked because it's on some of my close friends contacts. Anyone got an idea on what it means? PS, it just turned blue for a LOT of my contacts now
