Can someone help me configure my devices to not send read receipts?
I've turned off Send Read Receipts on my phone and tablet but devices continue sending read messages to others. I also use my computer to access messages, but don't see how to manage Send Read Receipts for the desktop app. Suggestions?

Thanks, that was the first thing I tried after verifying that Send Read Receipts was off. I pinged Apple support from their website. Apple support chat was quick and easy to access an Advisor. Unfortunately they could not resolve the issue, but I have a senior advisor call in the morning. I’m impressed and hopeful.
