About Read Status credits
How Read Status credits work
- One-time purchase: Read Status credits are bought in multi-packs (three read receipts) and do not renew automatically
- Per-chat activation: Using one credit permanently unlocks read status for that specific conversation
- Retroactive status: Activating Read Status reveals the status of all outgoing messages in the chat
- Private visibility: Message read status is visible only to you in your chat window
Checkmark indications
When Read Status is turned on in a chat, your outgoing message checkmarks will update:
- Gray double checkmarks: Message sent and received
- Pink double checkmarks: Message sent, received, and read
You will also see these checkmarks in your chat list.
Notes
- Main Viber privacy settings for Read Receipts do not apply to Viber Dating
- Deleting a chat, blocking, or unmatching a contact deactivates Read Status for that conversation
