Read Receipts for Individuals

Hello I was wondering is someone could help me out.


By default read receipts are turned off on my phone, which is what I prefer.


What I'm trying to do is to get only one contact to have read receipts.


I can't seem to make this happen. Whenever the conversation is deleted read receipts defaults back to off. I need to turn this on each time. I can't understand how to have the contact be enabled for read receipts and not the conversation.


Anyone know how to fix this?

Yes, that's correct.


Why is it then that I can select the conversation in Messages, click on the persons icon at the top middle, click on the info button, then I have the choices "Hide Alerts" or "Send Read Receipts"


When I chose Send Receipts, it will send the read receipts, unfortunately, if I close the conversation and start a new one, that setting resets itself.
