Hi,
It may be a glitch of the app... WhatsApp has detected that 10 messages have been missed and by loading on the phone of that person, they've been marked as seen.

From what I researched, the app is designed that way. Even if 100 new messages were sent in the group chat, as soon as a recipient opens the chat, all 100 will be marked as "seen" by that recipient. I am trying to understand why Whatsapp is designed that way. Marking a message as "seen" is supposed to give useful information to the sender of the messages. But if those messages aren't actually seen by a recipient, that information is inaccurate and useless.

I think it's designed that way because they consider that a person will spontaneously go to see all the messages they've missed. But I agree that it should be marked as seen only if a message is really seen normally...
