Hi there Justwondering77,


Thanks for joining us in Apple Support Communities! We understand you're asking how to prevent a delivery report from appearing on the recipient's device when you send a text message. We're glad you're here, and we can provide some guidance.


When you send a message from your iPhone, you should see 'Delivered' below it in the Messages app. There isn't a way to prevent this from appearing. However, you can prevent people from being notified when you have read their messages by turning off 'Send Read Receipts' in Settings > Messages. Have a look at this link to learn more:

We hope this information is helpful. Don’t hesitate to let us know if you have any more questions.


Cheers.
