In this tutorial, we will learn How to Turn off Read Receipts on Your iPhone . Let’s face it: We have all been in circumstances where we meant to ignore a text message, but a careless movement accidentally opened it and informed the other texter that you had seen it.
If you use iMessage on your iOS device, you may have encountered similar circumstances frequently.
You send read receipts for the communications to your fellow texters when you open a text message on an iOS device.
The read receipts inform the sender when the recipient has received and read their communication.
