Contexto cultural
WhatsApp is the king of communication. If you don't 'recibes un mensaje' on WhatsApp, you basically don't exist socially. Politeness is key. When you 'recibes un mensaje', it's common to reply with 'Muchas gracias' or 'Enterado' (Acknowledged). Voice messages are extremely long. 'Recibir un mensaje' often means receiving a 5-minute audio 'podcast' from a friend. Even in informal texts, some people use 'usted' to show respect, especially to elders or in professional-casual hybrids.
Use 'Me llegó'
If you want to sound like a native in a casual setting, say 'Me llegó un mensaje' instead of 'Recibí un mensaje'.
The 'Visto'
Be careful! In Spanish culture, receiving a message and not replying (dejar en visto) can cause social friction.
