How to check read receipts

Android
iPhone
KaiOS
Check marks will appear next to each message you send. Here's what each one indicates:
  • The message was successfully sent.
  • The message was successfully delivered to the recipient's phone or any of their linked devices.
  • The recipient has read your message.
Note:
  • The second check mark appears when a message is delivered to any of the recipient's linked devices, even if their phone is off.
  • In a group chat, the second check mark appears when all participants have received your message. Two blue check marks appear when all participants have read your message.
  • Read receipts reset when you edit a message, so you can see who viewed your updates.

The message info screen displays details of when your sent message was delivered, read, or played by the recipient.

The message info screen shows:

  • Your message was delivered to your recipient's phone or linked devices, but the recipient hasn't seen it.
Read or Seen:
  • The recipient has read your message or seen your picture, audio file or video.
  • The recipient has seen your voice message, but hasn't played it.

Missing read receipts
If you don't see two blue check marks, a blue microphone, or “Opened” label next to your sent message or voice message:
  • You or your recipient might have disabled read receipts in the privacy settings.
  • The recipient might have blocked you.
  • The recipient might not have opened your conversation.
  • You or the recipient might be experiencing connection issues.
