Read receipts

When I am using my iPad to text people through sms it sends a read receipt but on my iPhone XS Max, it does not. I do not have my read receipts on for either device. Help. It confuses me why I keep seeing read.

iPad Pro 10.5-inch, Wi-Fi, Cellular

You see “Read” because the person you are communicating with allows you to see Read Receipts.


Your “Send Read Receipts” setting determines whether the other person can see when you read their message. It has nothing to do with what read receipts you see.
