If someone has read receipts turned on on their iPhone, but they read the iMessage from their Macbook, will it still send a read receipt? It seems like it doesn't. Because if this person checks the message from their phone, I see the read receipt. But if they read it from their Macbook, I don't see a read receipt, just that it was delivered. Is this correct? Or is this a bug?

nno it doesn't quite answer the question.
I Have my read receipts turned on but I don't have a MacBook. It's someone else I'm talking about. They have read receipts on on their phone, and it works fine there. But if they check my text message from their MacBook then I don't get a read receipt, only that the message was delivered. So my question is, do you have to enable read receipts on the MacBook too?

Hey ktanner5,
Thanks for the question. If I understand correctly, you want to know if OS X has read reciepts in Messages. I would recommend that you read this article, it may be able to help the issue.
Messages (Yosemite): Accounts preferences for iMessage
Send read receipts
If you enable read receipts, people who send you messages will see when you’ve read them.
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
Have a good one,

Hi ktanner5,
Read receipts will only be sent when it is turned on for the device the message is being read on. It sounds like your friend may have read receipts turned on for their iPhone, but if your friend wants to display read receipts for messages read on the MacBook, your friend will need to turn on read receipts in the Messages Preferences on the MacBook.
Cheers,
Mario
ok thats what I thought but I wasn't sure. I was trying to find clarification On that and could not. So thank you!!
If read receipts are on, will they work on Macbook?
