      Hello team, read receipt is not appearing if the group chat is having more than 20 members.
      Any idea how to set it if it's more than 20 members?

      ChrisHoardMVP I wonder if you know the answer to this one: Sometimes the "Seen" icon does not appear, even though the other person has viewed the message and responded from their computer or phone. For example, in my 1:1 chat with a coworker, some of my messages from 3/17/20 show up as "Seen" whereas the most recent ones from 3/19/20, which she responded to, just show a "Sent" checkmark.
