Hello, ClickUp team!

I would like to suggest implementing a “Read by” feature in individual and group chats. This feature would allow you to see who has read the messages, similar to the feature available in Microsoft Teams.

This improvement would be extremely useful for several reasons:

Increased Productivity: Knowing who has read the message avoids the need to make unnecessary follow-ups, optimizing workflow and saving time.

Team Engagement: Transparency about message reading encourages more active and faster communication between team members.

Efficient Management: For leaders and managers, it would be easier to keep track of team interaction, ensuring that important information is being seen by everyone involved.

The functionality would be especially valuable for companies that use ClickUp as their main communication and project management platform. I hope you will consider this suggestion, as it would help to make ClickUp even more complete and competitive in the market.

Thank you! 🚀

Please add read receipts to Chat messages (similar to iMessage, Teams, or RCS Messaging with read markers enabled).

Chat is replacing email for a lot of internal coordination, and read receipts are the single biggest signal that separates "acknowledged" from "floating in the void." Without them, Chat feels less reliable than other tools my team already uses, which pushes conversations back out of ClickUp.

I can't see if anyone has read my DM message.

Is it possible to add this feature?

When I leave a comment on a task, especially when I mention someone, there’s no way to know if they actually saw it. I can tag a user or know they’re subscribed or assigned, but I have no visibility if they opened the task, saw the comment, or if it’s still unread.

This creates a lot of unnecessary follow-ups like “did you see my message?” or forces repeating the same update in other places.

ClickUp should show a simple indicator on the comment itself, such as “Seen by X” or “Seen by all mentioned users,” or even a small read receipt. This should be tracked per user, not globally.

Front.com does this very well, and ClickUp could implement it even better at the task and comment level. Tasks in ClickUp are used as conversations, not just to-do items, and knowing whether someone actually saw a comment would remove a lot of guesswork and friction.

This feels like a small UI change with a big impact on communication clarity.

In addition to being able to mark a task as assigned, in progress, hold up, or completed, add the ability to mark a task as seen. That way assigners know if an assignee has seen a task and just not begun it yet.
