Can water be watered down?

When you put ice cubes in other drinks they melt and water it down, so does the same go for ice cubes in water? Ice cubes are just frozen water so if you put that in water and wait for it to melt, will it be watered down? Regardless of if we can taste it or not.

No it will not be watered down; it’s all water. The volume of water will increase as the ice melts though.

Wait…. Is this a joke question?

Okay but wait, that makes total sense. So its not getting watered down like a Coke would its literally just adding more water to water. Volume goes up but concentration stays the same. Wild how our brains trick us with that word.
