I can not imagine the added stress of not doing this. Why on earth would you give the world access to your private actions like that??
I make a point of letting people know (incase they dont know/forgot to set the option).
Once I had an acquaintance tell me that she wanted people to know she was ignoring them. Like, using the read receipt as a power move.
It can be helpful for people to know if their message has been read, or just not received. I appreciate it in others, so I do the courtesy of keeping it on for myself too.
Turning of read receipts does not turn off delivery receipts.
Then that must've changed because it definitely used to. On WhatsApp at least.
Depends, if you have an abusive and manipulative ex who gas lights, that you share custody with, then you need time/space to let them calm down and to craft a non reactive response... It's a mental health saver.
thanks for giving me a reminder, my phone updated and defaulted to the Google messages app, and I noticed it had the typing indicators. I forgot to look into how to turn that shit off and figure out what the fuck was happening
I don't really text ever so RCS gave me a little surprise
Just turn off read receipts?
who is this feature even serving?
As a sender; sometimes a message doesn't warrant a response, but it's nice to know it was actually received/seen.
As a recipient though, I've always found it a tad creepy and turned it off on every phone I've had.

No thanks, were full up on potassium. Could use some more iron, though.
:( no one wants my potash
"Oh yea, my AI assistant analyzed it and thought you were a piece of shit and ommitted the notification" is gonna be the newest excuse
I feel like more people should know that letting people know your message is read is optional. Same with letting them see that you're typing.
Has it changed so that only one side needs them enabled to work? It used to be that all parties in the conversation had to turn read reciepts on to get them so if you turned it off, they also didn't get them.
Some phones will mark them as read just doing that becsuse the front camera saw your eyes look at it. It's creepy 😬
Doesn't it just change to "seen" when you do that?
