Read Receipts: Implement a visual indication for messages if and when they have been read by other users of the channel
Sometimes one's wondering if a post has already been read by other users. I could image that a member list of the channel pops up when one is selecting the read status from the particular post menu ("[..]").
In private chats, a sinple check sign (similar to whatsapp) could signalize if a message had beend read by your counterpart.

We’ve opened a design ticket to start exploring this feature: https://mattermost.atlassian.net/browse/MM-36529
This will need feasibility explorations given performance concerns on the server-side. As a result, we may start by only offering read receipts in Direct Messages and Group Messages that have a maximum of 8 users.

Please add the functionality to show read receipts which should make it possible to see who read each message. Most of your alternate solutions already have this functionality.
E.g rocket chat has:
By activating `Show Read Receipts` users will see who reads each message and by activating `Detailed Read Receipts` they will see when users read each message.
This idea has been requested since 2016 and it's a pity no one even assigned it.

The original idea has been made in 2016, a feature ticket was made in 2018 and it still hasn't been assigned to someone.
Kinda pitty to be honest, lot's of people have asked for this and it still isn't here.
with 294 votes for the post i think it's something people really want to see. -

Honestly, I do not understand the true goal of Mattermost Inc. If the goal was to provide the community with a “state of art” collaborative tool, the implementation of features such as "Read Receipts" is a must, with top priority, there is no doubt about it.
Why not implement it? It would not be difficult to activate sponsorship systems, transparent, serious (such as Indiegogo) that would allow you to make available the funds needed to develop what you need.
The feeling is that all this is known but Mattermost Inc. has no intention of following this path. -

Would really like to see such a feature. Should be an option to switch on and off in admin console.
