Is there a way to tell if people have read my group WhatsApp Messages? Yes, there is and I am here to show you how you can see who has received and who has read your messages.
With each message you send WhatsApp provides a read receipt which gives you information about the status of your message. Scroll down for instructions on how to tell if someone has seen your messages on iPhone, Android, and desktop devices.

What do the ticks on a group message mean?
You will only see the blue ticks next to the message when everyone in the group has received and read the message.
What do the ticks mean on one to one WhatsApp messaging?
In direct messaging, WhatsApp uses a tick system where the single grey tick means the message has been sent, two grey ticks mean the message was delivered, and when the ticks turn blue it means the receiver has read the message.
The read receipt shows they received it but the person claims they never saw it?
This is possible as WhatsApp messages can be fast and furious and often in busy groups, individual messages can be swamped amongst others and often people don’t scroll up to older read older messages.
Has the person read my actual Whatsapp Message?
It is important to know that just because your message has been ‘delivered to’ it does not mean that the person has read the message, it just means the message arrived on the person’s phone. ‘Read by’ is also a little misleading as it means that the person has opened the group chat where your message is, rather than a confirmation that they have actually read your message.
