A message on Viber has been read: how can I find out about it?

WhatsApp is a simple and straightforward messaging application. It makes it easy to send photos and record voice messages. A convenient function of the messenger is a read mark. It won’t take you long to figure out how to find out if a message on WhatsApp has been read.

WhatsApp has special reports that allow you to find out who read the message and when.

Clock next to the sent message

So, let's start our analysis of various notifications from Telegram with the dial icon to the right of the sent text.

Often, this icon appears briefly and signals that the text is being sent to the messenger server. It is important to note that the clock, instead of ticks, signals that the other person has not yet received your text. There are several reasons for the clock appearing for a long time:

• First, make sure you have Internet access on your smartphone. Open your browser and go to any website. Do not forget about slight interference in the quality of the connection with Telegram due to the company’s conflict with the current legislation of the Russian Federation.
• Don't rule out problems on the company's part. No one is immune from sudden breakdowns or other problems that cause a certain malfunction in the application. Just try to wait a while.
• A possible reason lies in the smartphone itself. We recommend that you restart your device and resend the previously typed text. Also disconnect and reconnect the Internet through the settings and directly through the router.

Is it possible to make a message unread?

If you do not want your actions in the application to be visible to other contacts, you need to use the interesting function of hiding notifications.

Hide message read status.

This can be done as follows:

1. Go to Viber and click on the three bars at the bottom of the screen (the “More” button).
2. In the menu that opens, go to the “Settings” item.
3. Next, open the “Privacy” tab.
4. We see the “Viewed” option and turn it off by unchecking it.

Read information is now hidden.

One green, white tick

Depending on the version of the application, a single check mark is highlighted in different colors. If the regular theme is enabled, it is highlighted in green; if the dark (night) theme is enabled, it is highlighted in gray. A single checkmark indicates that the message has been delivered to the interlocutor.

Please note that delivery does not mean that the user has already received notifications of receipt; it takes a little time before the corresponding pop-up window arrives on the device.

iPhone Delivery Report

Probably all iPhone owners are faced with the problem that they don’t have a basic, but very necessary – SMS message delivery report. This article is for those who have firmware below 3.1.2 (for those who don’t know: for this firmware you just need to go to Settings/SMS-MMS/Delivery Report and configure it in a manner convenient for you).

How to see who read a message

Unlike its competitor WhatsApp, Telegram does not allow you to see who exactly read the text you sent.

If one of the participants views it, its status changes to read and begins to be accompanied by two checkmarks.

Now you know how to understand in telegrams that a message has been read. When adding innovations, each user receives a corresponding message from the developers describing the new functions, but many ignore them, which leads to certain difficulties when using the messenger in the future. We recommend that you keep up with updates and read patch notes from the developers.

How to know if a WhatsApp message has been read

If a person logs into the application and reads the message, then 2 blue checkmarks will appear in the chat window opposite your text. But if the chat window was already open in the recipient’s application, then the messages are automatically marked as read, and the interlocutor can skip them, since they will arrive without a sound notification and will not be displayed in the notification line of the smartphone.

When the recipient turns off the ability to see the report, you will not be able to understand whether he read the message.

In a group, it is impossible to determine which users have not yet opened the chat window. Only when all participants have read the text will the checkmarks turn blue. Until at least someone has opened the chat, the checkmarks will be gray. And if a message has not yet been delivered to someone in the chat, then everyone in the group will have the “Not Delivered” status, like this participant.

Message statuses in Viber

How can you tell if a message has been read on Viber? This is easy to do, just look at the special icons, they are located next to each SMS sent. There are no special notifications about status changes, but each user can see the fate of their SMS independently.

You can view information about SMS via a mobile phone or computer. There is no need to enable the function; it is activated immediately after installation and is available on new and old devices. The read message is indicated by a certain number of checkmarks and their color, so you can’t make a mistake.

Attention. If the interlocutor has hidden the display of the “Read” option, it will be impossible to understand whether the recipient has seen the SMS.

Is it possible to find out the time when the message was read?

You can find out whether a message has been read or not using the standard functionality of the application, taking into account specific conditions and permissions. If there is no restriction on viewing, then check marks will appear next to the message. If there are two of them, then the message was delivered to the recipient and read by him. To see the reading time, you need to:

• open the WhatsApp application;
• go into the desired dialogue with the interlocutor;
• select message;
• hold type for a few seconds;
• a menu for working with the message will appear at the top of the screen;
• find a button with a circle icon with the letter “i” in the center;
• click on the icon.

Detailed information about the creation, editing or deletion of a message for all participants will appear - when it was sent, received or read.

No read receipts

If the user does not see the read receipt, namely two blue checkmarks, next to the sent message, it is possible:

• the sender and recipient have disabled read receipts in their privacy settings;
• the recipient has blocked the sender's contact;
• the message recipient's phone is switched off;
• the recipient has not yet had time to open the chat and read the message;
• There are problems connecting to the network.

In some cases, the display of read icons may be erroneous. What reasons can cause this problem:

• checking the status of the interlocutor - if he is not online, there will be one check mark next to the message;
• if the user was online but did not enter the dialogue, two gray checkmarks will appear opposite the message;
• there was a glitch in the application - perhaps an old version of the program is being used, it is important to install updates on time;
• there is a poor Internet connection;
• In the privacy settings, the reporting feature is disabled.

It is important to check every moment to understand why there are no read receipts for the sent message.

Disabling read receipts

If the user wants to hide the actions of reading messages from prying eyes, he can use a special option:

• open the program and go to settings;
• go to the “account” section;
• click on the “privacy” section;
• find the line “read receipts”;
• move the toggle switch to the inactive position.

Before you hide messages from being read in the program, you should know:

• the option will not be available for group chats;
• Read receipts from other users will not be visible when sending messages.

Checking the connection

Sometimes a person cannot send or reply to a message just because he is not currently connected to the Internet. At the same time, his interlocutor will be very worried due to the fact that they are not answering him.

You can also find out if this is true using similar functions. Modern messengers use the following system:

• One tick – successful sending;
• Two ticks – the message has been received by the interlocutor;
• Two “lit” checkboxes mean the message has been read.

That is why a similar function has been added almost everywhere: it not only allows you to find out whether the sent message was read, but also tells you whether it was received at all.

Is it possible to hide SMS status in Viber

You can easily see the data of the sent text, just look at the checkboxes. What to do if the subscriber does not want to show his interlocutors when he reads the message? There is a special option for this in the Viber menu; it enables anonymous reading mode.

Activating anonymous reading mode:

1. Open Viber settings.

2. Click on the Privacy .
3. Uncheck the box next to the mode "Viewed".

4. Now the interlocutors will not know that the message has been read.

Important. The option has a minus. If you hide your status, you will not be able to see that the sent SMS was viewed. To enable the option, you need to reactivate the “Viewed” in the settings.

How do you know that a message in the messenger has been opened? This is easy to do, just look at the icon on the right. If they turn purple, the text has been viewed. The function is supported on both phone and PC. No additional configuration required.
