# Read receipts
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
Read receipts let you check who has read a message. You can see read receipts
 | 
						|
for any message, including both [channel messages](/help/introduction-to-channels)
 | 
						|
and [direct messages](/help/direct-messages).
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
With privacy in mind, Zulip lets you [control][configure-personal-read-receipts]
 | 
						|
whether your read receipts are shared, and administrators can
 | 
						|
[choose][configure-organization-read-receipts] 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](/help/marking-messages-as-read).
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
## View who has read a message
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
{start_tabs}
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
{tab|desktop-web}
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
{!message-actions-menu.md!}
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
1. Click **View read receipts**.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
!!! keyboard_tip ""
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
    You can also use <kbd>Shift</kbd> + <kbd>V</kbd> to show or hide read receipts
 | 
						|
    for the selected message.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
{tab|mobile}
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
{!message-long-press-menu.md!}
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
1. Tap **View read receipts**.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
{end_tabs}
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
!!! tip ""
 | 
						|
    In addition to a list of names, you will see how many people have read
 | 
						|
    the message.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
## Configure whether Zulip lets others see when you'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.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
{start_tabs}
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
{settings_tab|account-and-privacy}
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
1. Under **Privacy**, toggle **Let others see when I've read messages**.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
{end_tabs}
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
## Configure read receipts for your organization
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
{!admin-only.md!}
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
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][configure-personal-read-receipts]
 | 
						|
  once they join.)
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
### Configure whether read receipts are enabled in your organization
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
{start_tabs}
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
{settings_tab|organization-settings}
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
1. Under **Message feed settings**, toggle **Enable read receipts**.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
{!save-changes.md!}
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
{end_tabs}
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
### Configure default read receipt sharing settings for new users
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
{start_tabs}
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
{settings_tab|default-user-settings}
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
1. Under **Privacy settings**, toggle **Allow other users to view read receipts**.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
{end_tabs}
