A message info screen with more information about the 'read' status of messages:
When the message was read in private chats.
Which group members read the message and at what time.
Use cases
Knowing that you can count on the fact that a certain group member read the message.
Potential issues
Privacy issues. Could be partially – but not fully – mitigated by tying visibility to the Last Seen privacy settings of the user.
Telegram groups can get up to 200,000 members which makes tracking read statuses more complicated and would potenitially add significant overhead while the use cases for this are relatively rare.
Workarounds
You can currently rely on a person's Last Seen status (if they are sharing it with you) to get a general idea of when they've read your messages – and whether they've read messages in your common groups.
If it's important to know when a certain message gets read in a group, you could ask your recipients to acknowledge they've read it (for example, with an animated sticker).
I think the limit is a good idea, but the 10 is too small. The number of my family is more than 10 :-). So, it should be configurable, and maybe the admins can set it (and it should be taken on/off too, of course by admins :-) ).

I think that could draw a limit. For example, for groups of up to 200 people, you could see who read and who did not read the selected group message.
For groups with more than 200 people, we would have only a percentage, for example, 30% of the group read the selected message.
This would be an ideal update. At the moment we can't tell who has read our messages in group chats . I know one tick means it's on the sever but two ticks have they read it or not or has the message just been delivered and not read.

I'd like the administrator to be able to see who read the message in group chats. Not just seeing two check marks when someone first red it. WhatsUpp has this feature. And we do not have it. To be able to click on a message and view the properties of that message. And to see there who has already viewed it and who has not yet. It would be very helpful in discussing organizational tasks. For example, you need to make an appointment. And you can see who has read it, and for whom better to duplicate it personally.
This is what make whatssap odly, stalkarish and unbearable.

Would be really usefull for corporate/family groups. Maybe only as an option for the future "secret groups" feature. Never allow that in large and/or public groups else government/GAFAM bots will gather much informations about us !!!
