You can only do that on the receiving system, but it would be part of the messaging application.

you mean i cannot do that after receiving message ? can you explain more please?

When someone receives a message they get a notification on their system, but it does not send any information back to the person who sent the message. The same is true when they read it, nothing is sent back to the person who created the message.

i am sorry, i think i haven't explained it well,
i mean when someone borrows my mobile, if he is a curious person, he may read my messages,
so what i want to ask you if there is a way to alert me.

Not that I know of. I guess you need to research the app that you use to read messages. Better still, don't let people borrow your mobile.

You need to reply to the user's comment so that they are notified instead of adding a new comment to your own question.
