Really would like to be able to see when someone read my messages.

This is a nice feature that Hangouts use to have before going to Google Chat.

Also being able to see if someone is replying to your message by showing ...... that would indicate they typing something back to you.
But really would like to know when someone reads my messages

Thanks Love this app except now it is giving me Major problems by duplicating messages. I have everyone of my older messages showing 3 or 4 entries for everything
