Meshtastic Net 02/18/2026 as seen by Dr. Greg AI5HV node GCM2 located near 71st & 129th in Broken Arrow, OK.
I asked ChatGPT what the message status is.
On a Meshtastic device/app, the exclamation mark (!) icon next to a message indicates the message was not acknowledged by another node.
What your screenshot shows
- The message was transmitted by your node, but
- No receiving node confirmed (ACK) it.
- This usually means one of the following:
- 📡 No other Meshtastic nodes were in range
- 📶 Weak signal or interference
- 🔋 Receiving node was offline or asleep
- 🌐 Network routing didn’t find a path
Meshtastic message status meanings (quick reference)
- ✅ Checkmark / delivered → Another node received and acknowledged it.
- ⏳ Sending / pending → Radio is still trying to transmit.
- ❗ Exclamation mark (your case) → Sent but not acknowledged.
If you want, tell me your node model and setup (LoRa region, power level, antenna, distance to other nodes), and I can help you troubleshoot why acknowledgments aren’t coming back.
