Can I turn off the iMessage typing indicator bubble with the three dots off?

I currently use software on iOS 6 that disables my outgoing bubble with the three dots that lets whoever I'm communicating with know that I'm typing. I want to update to iOS 7, but can't find any information about whether the option to disable the indicator is present in the new settings. Thanks in advance to anyone who can't point me in the right direction.

iPhone 5, iOS 6.1

I would like to use iMessage without the typing indicator. Is it possible?


Suggesting that I turn off iMessage as a solution not at all helpful. It appears dismissive and rude.

No, it actually just makes you seem unappreciative and hyper-sensitive. Although you may have wanted a different solution, turning off iMessage was/is a valid to fix your problem.

You're replying to a four year old post. Although I don't entirely disagree with your sentiment, I don't think it will ever be read by the intended recipient.
