Show Google for the last several years has been pushing a new communications protocol called Rich Communication Services, or RCS, which is designed to replace the current SMS standard. RCS offers support for higher resolution photos and videos, audio messages, bigger file size, improved encryption, and more. For the last few months, Google's senior vice president of Android, Hiroshi Lockheimer,... Who among us has not at some point in time been shaken to their cores by the sheer sight of a read receipt? I know I have. The read receipts feature on iPhones — which, if enabled, notifies people when you've read their text messages — is, in my opinion, one of the most anxiety-inducing modernizations in the world of mobile phones. While some people out there, such as my dear (misguided) colleague Brenda Stolyar, are pro-read receipts, many texters feel that knowing when someone reads their messages (and vice versa) is incredibly stressful — especially when a response isn't delivered in a timely fashion. Is the person who read my text and not responding angry with me? Are they about to ghost? Are they OK? Why haven't they read the message yet? What are they doing if not opening, reading, and replying to my very important and/or dumb, inconsequential text? Read receipts can send people into mental spirals, but the good thing about the feature is that it's not too popular among Gen Z and millennials. Though you may know a few younger texters who've embraced read receipts, you'll often see them pop up in texts with parents, aunts, uncles, grandparents, or boomers in your life who might not be very tech-savvy. Perhaps people using read receipts aren't even aware that the feature is on, or they simply don't know how to turn it off. If that's the case, we're here to help. Nothing kills the texting mood like seeing a read receipt, so here's how to turn them off. Disabling read receipts for everyoneIf you're ready to leave read receipts behind, unlock your iPhone and head to Settings. Scroll down on the Settings page until you find Messages, click that and take comfort in the fact that you're already more than halfway there. Once you're in Messages scroll down and find the Send Read Receipts option. If your read receipts are enabled the toggle to the side of the words will be green. To disable read receipts for all of your contacts, all you have to do is tap that green toggle, watch it turn gray, and breathe a sigh of relief knowing you can read people's messages on your own time without anyone knowing you've done so.

Most users prefer this sneaky trick because they dont wish to be questioned why their message wasnt answered. However, several iPhone users have reported that iPhone is turning on the read receipts even when they had turned it off. Apple lets iPhone users enable and disable read receipts in Messages in iOS, iPadOS, and macOS. As reported by Macworld, some iOS and iPad OS users have reported that their contacts can see the messages even if the message is read and even when the read receipts were turned on. Apple had rolled out system-wide settings for users to turn the feature off. Even If you log in from different devices using a single iCloud ID, the feature would be turned on and off on all devices as per the settings you had opted for. The report states that the issue is appearing on devices that are running on iOS 15. However, users whose iPhones are running on iOS 15 and later have also reported seeing the same issue. The cause of the issue has not been determined. The report states that the issue had diminished briefly but no permanent solution was offered to users who were facing the issue. You can try restarting the device if you notice that your contacts are able to see the read receipts even after you have turned them off. However, that would not fix the problem permanently. For users, that are not facing the issue yet but want to turn off their read receipts on Apple devices, here is what they should do:- If you are an iPhone user, you should go to Settings > Messages and tap the toggle next to Send Read Receipts. You can either turn it on or off as per your preference. If you are an iPad user, go to Settings > Messages and turn on the toggle button next to Send Read Receipts. If you are a MacBook use, go to Settings > Preferences > iMessage and select Send read receipts. Edited By: Ankita Chakravarti Published On: Jan 7, 2022 |
