How to detect if my messages on telegram is already read using telethon?

I sent multiple messages to my contacts on telegram using telethon but I didn't use this events to know if they are read directly so I want to check if my messages are read or not using other method


@client.on(events.MessageRead)
async def handler(event):
    # Log when someone reads your messages
    print('Someone has read all your messages until', event.max_id)

I read the full documentation and I can't find an answer is there anyway to know if the message is read or not using its id as example? cz even when I called get_dialogs() function it gives me the ID of last message and not the last read message by user as the comment given here

Get the Dialog where you sent the message using GetPeerDialogsRequest(), then if the read_outbox_max_id property is equal or higher than the message.id, the message has been read.

chat = 'INSERT_CHAT'
msg_id = (await client.send_message(chat, 'YOUR_TEXT')).id

# get the Dialog where you sent the message
result = await client(functions.messages.GetPeerDialogsRequest(
        peers=[chat]
    ))
# check if the message has been read    
if result.dialogs[0].read_outbox_max_id >= msg_id:
    print('the message has been read')
else:
    print('the message has not been read yet')
