Read receipts

Read receipts let you check who has read a message. You can see read receipts for any message, including both channel messages and direct messages.

With privacy in mind, Zulip lets you control whether your read receipts are shared, and administrators can choose whether to enable read receipts in their organization.

Hover over a message to reveal three icons on the right.
Click on the ellipsis ().
Click View read receipts.

Configure whether Zulip lets others see when youâ€™ve read messages

Zulip supports the privacy option of never sharing whether or not you have read a message. If this setting is turned off, your name will never appear in the list of read receipts.

Go to Account & privacy.
Under Privacy, toggle Let others see when Iâ€™ve read messages.

Configure read receipts for your organization

You can configure:

Whether read receipts are enabled in your organization.
Whether new users will allow others to view read receipts by default. (Note that users can always change this setting once they join.)

Configure whether read receipts are enabled in your organization

Go to Organization settings.
Under Message feed settings, toggle Enable read receipts.
