@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.

Yes absolutely love to have this implemented.

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!

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.

It would be helpful to know when your message is opened and read in GLIP. This way you know when members on your team have read or seen the message you sent them. Eliminates guessing and possibly resending the message again.

On glip it would be great to be able to see that someone has read your message, like you can on whats App ... and on groups or teams be able to see who has read your message. Then you will know when to follow up with that person or ask again.

I agree this is a must have for Ring Central.

This is a must have feature to enhance the collaboration experience

I completely agree with this ask. It would be great to know when a message has been read by the recipient. That said, it would also be nice to have a means for looking at a message without it being marked as 'read'. Other messaging apps call this 'peeking' at a message... you can right click on a name where a message is waiting and say 'peek' at the message to see what it says without marking it as 'read'.

Please add this feature ASAP.

I would like to request to add the feature to know both parties that the messages sent privately has been read.

This is a critical need for workflow and efficiency - please also allow admins to turn on for the entire organization.
