"Your Message Has Been Read" messages from Samsung Galaxy User

Took me forever to figure this one out. I have an iPhone. Friend has a Samsung. I would receive notifications saying your message has been read. She got notification to allow message. Super annoying. So I brought up her profile and went to edit. Beside her phone number it said “iPhone” I changed that to “mobile” and now no more notifications for either of us!!! YES!!!

+1 for including screenshots, this helps us troubleshoot.

Definitely talk to carriers, I have never seen that happen in the U.S. or Austria

Does this happen with anyone else you know that has the Galaxy?

You do have a weird case on your hands...

Use Whatsapp/Viber until things start to settle down

Also, try resetting all settings (or just network settings) and see if that helps.

But the only time I could ever see that happening is if one is messaging to the email address of the phone.

Example:

phonenumberhere@sms.telus.net

This is the first I've ever heard of it and I'd have to say it's unknown in the USA.

I suspect it's a carrier thing, if the resets didn't help, talk to them.

Not many have seen what you have seen, we can't really advise beyond what someone has experienced before.

Does Apple have any comments on it?

There is this thread on another forum with a similar issue as you...

But other than using 3rd party messaging, I really have no idea what to do.

My friend on an iPhone 4s (iOS 7) is also having the same problem when when we text, and just occurred recently with neither of us changing any settings. I am using a Nexus 4 (Android 4.3).

1) I just recently started using MightyText, an iMessage like app that allows me to text from my laptop, not sure if that did anything. Does your friend also use MightyText?

Although it's the sender that asks for the delivery report. There is no setting option for recipient to force a report (that doesn't make sense anyway). I believe iOS doesn't have "request report" option so not sure what that means.

2) I also read somewhere that it's actually done at the carrier/network side.

My friend is also with Rogers. I am with Wind.

This site explains how delivery report works.

I think it's most likely problem at Rogers. Since the problem seems very isolated.

My wife has an iPhone 5 on Fido (aka Rogers) and I have a Nexus 4 on Wind. Everytime she sends me an image she gets a confirmation that I've read it. Settings on both phones are off.

Seems that Rogers is the constant in this problem.

My iPhone 4s is also doing this with my brothers phone it's a google phone from fido. I woke up this morning to 24/26 texts being exactly that message "your message to (insert # here) has been read". It's incredibly annoying and no one can seem to help. (We're both with fido too)

Has anybody reached out to Rodgers regarding this issue? It's quite annoying...

My sister is getting about 1 message per minute. She has a Samsung Galaxy II or III. I have an LG G2.

"Your message to (phone #) has been Read"

When I turn on "Airplane mode" on my phone, she stops receiving these text messages, so it's likely my phone.

The issue started when I did a restore of my phone yesterday evening from an backup I created a few hours earlier. The backup utility was LG's backup.

I do have MightyText, but haven't used it in a while. I might try uninstalling it to see if it helps, but I don't think it's related to MightyText. I check "Battery" to see which apps are using my battery to find the culprit, but found nothing unusual.

I'd appreciate any help.

Am i correct in assuming you've figured this out being as its 2016? I know how to fix if anyones still stumped...

please do tell its happening to me , so how do ya fix it? phobe provider are clueless and so is apple and its there iwn phone lol
