Why does my samsung phone have a red dot next to some of my contacts ?

[Android Central Question]

I am not blocked from any of these contacts , nor does the dot change colors to blue or green , its always a red dot in the lower right corner , of the circled letter , of the name the contact begins with , also not all of these contacts own a samsung phone , so i find it unlikely that they would have samsung messenger installed on a different brand phone. The dot appears on the same contacts when i open my text messages also.

Welcome to Android Central! When you text them, do they show as being on RCS Chat or not? It might mean that they don't have RCS Chat turned on.
