Group Read Receipts in iMessage

The improvements to iMessage in iOS 16 are both highly welcomed and long overdue. iOS and iPad OS 16 give iMessage users more control over their messages by letting us edit and unsend messages; and the ability to mark threads as unread, make it even easier to remember to follow up with conversations. But one thing is still missing: the ability to see who’s read messages in group chats. Other messaging platforms will usually show avatars at the bottom of the chat to see who’s seen messages; there is no reason Apple couldn’t do the same with group chats that involve other iMessage users.
