What is how to turn off read receipts on iphone?
Here's how to disable read receipts on your iPhone:
You can disable read receipts either for all conversations or for specific contacts.
Disabling Read Receipts for All Conversations:
- Go to Settings.
- Scroll down and tap on Messages.
- Look for the Send Read Receipts option.
- Toggle the switch to the off position (so it appears grey). This will turn off read receipts for all iMessage conversations. Now, when you read a message, the sender will not see a "Read" confirmation. The link is: Disable%20Read%20Receipts%20Globally
Disabling Read Receipts for a Specific Contact:
- Open the Messages app.
- Open the specific conversation with the contact you want to disable read receipts for.
- Tap on the contact's name or profile picture at the top of the conversation.
- Tap on Info.
- Scroll down and toggle the Send Read Receipts option to the off position (grey). This means that only this specific contact will not be notified when you read their messages. All other contacts will still receive read receipts if you have the global setting enabled. The link is: Disable%20Read%20Receipts%20Per%20Contact
Important Notes:
- These settings only apply to iMessage conversations (blue bubbles), not SMS/MMS messages (green bubbles).
- If someone turns off read receipts, you will also not receive read receipts from them.
- It is possible to enable or disable read receipts for individuals, even when the overall "Send Read Receipts" setting is turned on. The link is: iMessage%20Functionality
