This would be brilliant, this is the biggest complaint we have on users staying with teams. It would be great to have this implemented so we can finally ditch teams and stick to one solution!

Please add this functionality ASAP, we want our 200 users to adopt this ASAP over Teams!

On most other messaging services, you can see if the recipient has read your message. That does not appear to be available on Ring Central. It is important because without it the sender is left wondering if the recipient has seen the message...and often messages are time sensitive. This causes unncessary follow-up phone calls and such, just what messaging is desinged to avoid.

Hello, I think it would be a great idea to show if a message that was sent was read or revived by the recipient.

show 2 dots or a symbol to show that the recipients read the messages

@Becky Hensley - thank you for your reply. However, this thread is well over a year old, and the fact that ya'll don't have a firm date for this feature seems to indicate you aren't listening to your customers. :-(

Unfortunately, we don't have a firm date, but it is a planned feature. We'll be sure to update here when we have additional details to share.

Given the age of this thread/idea, the "Planned" tag, and the ubiquity of this feature among competetors, is there a target implementation date? I'd love to ditch Teams altogether, but this is definitely a snag.

allowing a seen/read state indicator on messages send would allow senders to determine if messages are being ignored

Yes absolutely love to have this implemented.

A seen or read receipt will be so much helpful. I don't know if I'm left unread or the recipient is deliberately ignoring my messages. Being an employee of RC, this will definitely help in calling out this behaviour. Thank you.

Frankly, I'm very surprised this isn't already part of the app. I just started using RingCentral upon a job change. I'm used to Teams, and this is a valuable function that already exists in Teams.

Is there an update on the timing of launching this feature?

I would like to have an option in settings that allows my chat messages to be marked as "Read" when seen by the recipient. This would be really helpful. Thanks!

This would be incredibly useful to make sure colleagues and directors have read key messages. At the moment I have to call the message recipient to check they have read my message - which is a bit pointless and wastes time since I could have called in the first place.Every major chat platform, like WhatsApp and co, has a feature like this and I a surprised that RC has not added this.

AMAZING IDEA!

Would be very useful to see when a message is delivered and when it is read.

We too don't see the feature of read receipts enabled in RingCentral messages !will this be something need to get on from support or what

Please add read receipts (like the double checkmark on WhatsApp or the circle on Skype). Also date and time of when read would be useful.

Would like to see this added.
