Why I got the message – Awaiting this message, it might take a while?
Occasionally, you might see the message – “Awaiting this message, it might take a while” instead of the one your contact has sent.
A message could experience a delay because of the necessity for the sender’s phone to be actively connected online, as mandated by the end-to-end encryption protocol.
This could be due to:
- Either you or your contact recently reinstalled ETchat.
- Either you or your contact is not using the most up-to-date version of ETchat.
- The message was sent while you were offline, and by the time you came online, your contact was offline.
- The message wasn’t delivered to you. In this case, ask your contact to resend it.
To expedite this process, try the following steps:
- Ask the person you’re communicating with to open ETchat on their phone while they are connected to internet.
- Ensure both of you are using the latest version of ETchat latest version of ETchat.
