How to see if a message has been read in a WhatsApp group on iPhone - in detail?

To determine whether a message has been read within a WhatsApp group on an iPhone, you can follow these detailed steps:

  1. Open WhatsApp: Launch the WhatsApp application on your iPhone.
  2. Select Group: Navigate to the group chat where you sent the message or want to check the status of messages.
  3. Individual Message Check:

    • Tap and hold on the specific message you are interested in within the group chat.
    • A menu will appear with options such as 'Reply', 'Forward', 'Delete', etc.
    • Look for a checkmark icon next to the message. This indicates whether the message has been delivered or read.
      • Single Checkmark (✓): The message has been sent but not yet delivered.
      • Double Checkmarks (✓✓): The message has been delivered to the recipient's phone.
      • Blue Double Checkmarks with a Contact Name or 'Read': This indicates that the message has been read by one or more participants in the group. Note that WhatsApp does not show individual read receipts for each participant; it only shows when at least one person has read the message.
  4. Group Info:

    • If you want to see a summary of who has seen the message, tap on the group name or the 'i' (info) icon at the top of the chat screen.
    • Scroll down to find the 'Read Receipt' section where it indicates how many participants have read the latest messages.
  5. Blue Ticks in Chat Bubble:

    • Within the group chat, each message bubble will show blue ticks if the message has been read by anyone in the group. This is a quick visual indication without having to tap on individual messages.
  6. Participant Status:

    • For more detailed information, you can check the status of individual participants within the group:
      • Tap on the group name or the 'i' (info) icon at the top of the chat screen.
      • Select 'Group Info'.
      • Scroll down to see a list of all participants in the group. A gray checkmark next to their names indicates that they have not read the message yet, while blue checkmarks indicate they have.

By following these steps, you can effectively determine whether messages within a WhatsApp group on your iPhone have been read by any of the participants.
