How do I enable read receipts on my iPhone 15 Plus for Messages?

I have an Iphone 15 and I am unable to find a way to see when my messages are read. I understand that in settings under messages you can see a setting to turn on read receipts. I don’t have that option on my phone at all.

The setting you are looking for is at Settings > Messages > Send Read Receipts. It is right below Show Contact Photos. This only applies to the messages that are sent to you, and will allow the sender to know you have read it.


You will not be able to see if the messages that you send have been read unless the person that has received it has this option turned on. For privacy reasons that information is only sent to you if the person wants to do that.
