Why can’t I see the reading time of a message?
But why doesn’t the time the message was read appear sometimes? If you can’t see the exact moment your contact read the message, it could be for the following reasons:
- The contact has blocked you.
- You or the other user has disabled read receipts.
- The message has not yet been read for various reasons, such as a lack of connection or the phone being turned off.
