Read receipt

Read receipt is a feature that allows users to know whether their messages have been read by other users in the channel. The UI for read receipt appears in the MessageListComponent of ChannelModule. If a user’s message has been read by all the other users in the channel, a colored double-tick icon will appear above the message’s timestamp. Read receipt is only visible to the sender of the message.

Note : In order to use this feature, you must first create a channel and enable the chat service. To learn how to allow users to chat in a channel, refer to the Chat in a group channel page.

You can customize the UI for read receipt through the icon_done_all property of the icon resource.

The following table shows a customizable read receipt icon.

Note : The same double-tick icon is used for both read receipt and delivery receipt. The only difference is the color of the icon. Default icon colors used for read receipt are secondary_300 for Light theme, and secondary_200 for Dark theme.
