Theread receipt allows you to ask readers to confirm that they have read a post, and to track who has done so.
When creating a post in News, enable the Read receipt (“Request confirmation”) in the post options, in the same place as the Likes and Comments options.
On a post with a read receipt, the reader has a button “I have read it”. By clicking it, they confirm to the author that they have read it.
The author of the post cannot acknowledge receipt of their own post.
The author sees the number of people who have confirmed reading it (for example, “5 people have acknowledged receipt”). By opening this detail, they can:
Show the people who have acknowledged receipt
See the number of people still waiting
As long as some readers have not confirmed, the author can click Follow up to send them another notification. A confirmation shows how many people will be followed up with before sending.
When all readers have confirmed, no further follow-up is possible: “Everyone has acknowledged receipt.”
The assistant cannot request or confirm a read receipt directly. It can explain how it works and guide you to the News app.
