How can I see who has read a message in a WhatsApp group chat on Android - in detail?

To determine who has seen your messages in a WhatsApp group chat on an Android device, you need to follow these detailed steps:

  1. Open the Group Chat: First, locate and open the specific WhatsApp group where you want to check the message status.
  2. Send Your Message: Ensure that you have sent the message for which you wish to monitor read receipts. WhatsApp provides different indicators based on the delivery status of your messages.

  3. Check Message Status:

    • Single Check Mark (✓): This indicates that your message has been successfully sent from your device but not yet delivered to the recipient’s phone.
    • Double Check Marks (✓✓): These marks signify that your message has been successfully delivered to the recipient's phone. However, this does not confirm that the message has been read.
    • Blue Ticks with a Contact Name or Time Stamp: When you see blue ticks next to a contact’s name or a time stamp, it means the recipient has read your message. This is applicable for both individual and group chats.

  4. Details of Message Status:

    • To get more detailed information about who has seen your message in a group chat:
      • Tap and hold on the sent message until a menu pops up.
      • From the menu, select "Info" or "Details". This will open a new window displaying the status of your message.

  5. View Read Receipts: In this details window, you can see:

    • The exact time and date when each participant read the message.
    • A checkmark (✓) next to the names of those who have read the message.
  6. Privacy Settings: It is essential to note that WhatsApp allows users to disable read receipts in their privacy settings. If a participant has disabled read receipts, you will not see a confirmation that they have read your message. However, you can still see when the message was delivered (indicated by double check marks).

By following these steps, you can effectively monitor who has seen your messages in a WhatsApp group chat on an Android device.
