Would like 'read' notification from guests once they received final instructions/directions

Would be great to know when guests have read your final message which includes instructions on how to get in the house. Sometimes when I contact guests a day or 2 before they arrive with final instructions...either how to get in the house or what time I will be home, not all reply to acknolwedge the message. So some sort of 'read receipt' or 'double tick' like in Whatsapp would be good.

I love this idea! Especially since there have been times when Airbnb's messaging system has gone haywire and messages were not delivered until days after they were sent

This would be a great option for ALL communication!

I support this suggestion, but I'll add that messaging a guest a mere day or two in advance of arrival is likely to have a high failure rate, especially if the guest is already on the road (and doesn't use the phone app). I send the final instructions a week in advance.

@Lizzie When something is Archived - what does that actually mean?

Read email is a must, some people will not respond or email unless there is a problem. So it would be great to know they have got the info.
