To know if the receiver read your WhatsApp message, look for the blue checkmarks next to your message. Two grey checkmarks mean the message was delivered, and two blue checkmarks indicate the message was read. If read receipts are turned off, you might not see the blue checkmarks, even if the message has been read.
