iPhone->Settings->Messages->scroll down to Send Read Receipts and toggle on/off to suit your preference. This determines whether the person who sent you a text sees a read receipt on their end. And to repeat, this only works between iPhone users, not other platforms like Android.

The most recent iMessage will have "Delivered" under it. Earlier messages will not have the notification. If the person has Read Receipts enabled, "Delivered" will be replaced by "Read" when the message has been read.



Note that this only applies to iMessages (blue). SMS messages (green) will not say "Delivered".

You can't do anything to turn on or off read receipts for someone else. If the person you're sending to doesn't have read receipts enabled, you will never see whether or not they have read your messages. You also only see "Delivered" on the most recent message.


If someone is not responding to your messages, the most likely reason is because they don't want to talk to you.
