How to See the Exact Time Your Telegram Message Was Read

13 September, 2024 — James Brandon

Telegram is a popular messaging app that allows people to send text, voice messages, videos, and files. When you send a message on Telegram, it displays one tick to notify you that the message has been sent successfully, and two ticks when the recipient has read the message. However, until a recent update on the app, you could not know what time the message was read.

Knowing the specific time can be useful, especially if you’re waiting for a reply or trying to track communication. Telegram has recently included the ability to see when someone has read your message. However, Telegram does not show when a message was read directly next to it. This piece highlights how to check the exact time your Telegram message was read. In a related article, we discussed how to read Telegram messages without being seen.

To check the exact time your Telegram message was read:

• Update your Telegram app to the latest version

• Launch the Telegram app and open a chat with the person you want to message.

• Type your message and send it as usual. You’ll notice a single check mark next to the message once it’s been sent.

• Wait for the sent message to be read. This will be shown by double check marks on the message.

• To see the exact time your message was read, tap on the two check marks next to the sent message

• A menu will appear with the first item showing the exact time when the message was read.
