heard from
Received a message
To have heard from someone is to have received communication from them—a letter, call, text, or other contact: Have you heard from your brother lately?
The phrase often implies awaiting news: We haven't heard from the insurance company yet.
In the negative, it suggests worry or uncertainty about someone's status or response.
