This message cannot be marked read.

- **HTTP status**: `422`
- **Type**: `validation_error`
- **Name**: `WhatsAppMessageNotAcknowledgeable`

## What to do

Mark read only a message the contact sent you. A message Bird sent has no read receipt to return, and one that never reached WhatsApp has no id to acknowledge.
