Can I find out what time the recipient read my message?

Highlight the message by long-clicking on it, then press the circled i on the top of the screen. This will tell you both the time the message was read and the time the message was delivered.

Question

How would I know if the person receiving the message has been online?

Top Answerer

You can click on the name for the last-seen time on top, which is the time the user was last online on WhatsApp. However, some people choose to hide this information, in which case it would be blank under the name. If this happens, there is no way to tell.
