Google Chat to soon get Hangouts-like read receipts feature

Google Chat will be getting Hangouts-like read receipts feature “no sooner than October 5”.

Google points out that the feature will only be seen on active chat windows for one-on-one conversations and not in group chats or rooms

According to HT Tech, Like WhatsApp shows a double-tick in blue (if you have read receipt notifications turned on) Google Chats will show the avatar of the person you are chatting with on the right of the last message they have seen.

The feature will be available for active chat windows for one-on-one conversations on Android, iOS, and the web
