React to iMessage

If I react to an iMessage and both parties have read receipts on, can I see when/if they saw my reaction or only if they reply?

Hi aee29445,


We understand you have questions about read receipts in message conversations. We're happy to help.


Read receipts only apply to the actual messages. Message reactions do not provide a read receipt.


You can find more info on messages and read receipts here: Set up Messages on iPhone


We hope this helps. Take care!
