How can I get rid of the read receipts on iPhone since last update?

How can I get rid of the read receipts on the new 16.3/16.4 updates, I run a business and sometimes don’t reply to customers straight away. This is a real problem which I’ve highlighted with apple… still no bug fix!!!!

settings -message - send read receipt - OFF. If that is off and you see the read receipt that means the recipient has it enable on their end and you can't control that.
