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.
!!! tip "" Read receipts reflect whether or not someone has marked a message as read, whether by viewing it, or by marking messages as read in bulk.
