In a WhatsApp group chat, how can I see who has read a message - in detail?

In a WhatsApp group chat, determining who has read a specific message can be done with a few simple steps. WhatsApp provides users with the ability to see not only if a message has been delivered but also if it has been read by each participant in the group. Here’s how you can do this:

  1. Open WhatsApp: Launch the WhatsApp application on your device.
  2. Select the Group Chat: Navigate to the group chat where the message was sent.
  3. Locate the Message: Scroll through the conversation until you find the specific message you want to check the read status for.
  4. Tap and Hold the Message: Press and hold on the message until a menu appears at the top of your screen. This action is known as “Info” in WhatsApp.
  5. View Read Receipts: In the menu that pops up, you will see an option labeled "Read by..." or something similar. Tap on this option to reveal a list of all participants in the group who have read the message. This list includes the names and profile pictures of each participant along with the timestamp indicating when they read the message.
  6. Understand the Icons: Next to each name, you might see different icons:

    • A checkmark (✓) indicates that the message has been delivered but not yet read.
    • Two checkmarks (✓✓) indicate that the message has been read.

By following these steps, you can easily determine who in your WhatsApp group chat has read a particular message and when they read it. This feature is particularly useful for ensuring important information is acknowledged by all members of the group.
