iMessage read reports change from read to delivered

Well I've heard from my Apple advisor I was speaking to and he said that it seems a lot of people are having this issue (DUH!) and it is being investigated now by the engineers. If it turns out to be a operations fault there'll probably be a new software update with a fix on it and that should settle the matter. Or the other solution is going to be just the people who are having the problem are going to wake up one morning and it'll be fixed. He said he cannot say how long the process will take or anything but hope this puts some minds at ease!!!

Am having a same issue - Tried everything too fix it - Nothing works apart from small Temp Fixes.

I have tried everything to fix this. Just plain bugs me. Showed read then changed back to delivered. Annoying.

I Have this problem to, but the strange thing is, on my iPad which runs 9.3.1 I don't have this issue, all messages show the read time

stamp, just my iPhone 6 that does it

I've been having the same issue. I'm glad it's not just me going crazy.

Apple has yet to respond on this thread. They need to add this to their bug list.

Same problem here since the 9.3.1 update on an iPhone 6. Messages that were read don't always show as read. I've noticed that closing Messages from the background apps and then re-opening it SOMETIMES fixes this (that is, it updates the read receipts with the correct "read" time). Basically, it seems that the app is not visualizing the receipt properly even though the phone is receiving them.

I'm having the same issue also 😟 it drives you nuts! The other person doesn't even notice. But it doesn't happen when I text another friend on IMessage.

I have the iPhone 6S and software version 9.3.1 and I have the same problem. This was beginning to make me think I was crazy so I am glad to hear others have noticed it too and hopefully this will be fixed soon. I took screen shots and showed them to my friend and was like what are you doing to change it, lol.

Does anyone thats having this issue have access to the Apple Dev Beta's as iOS 9.3.2 beta is out (Came out yesterday) - Just wondering if this Beta fixes this issue? If not , Apple have not addressed it yet.

I wasn't even aware there was a beta version. don't have access to it but was told by the person I spoke to at apple that it will be sorted out in either a fix through software update, or all the people that have reported it will just wake up one day and it'll be fixed. could happen either way and until then there are many temp fixes. If anybody does have access to the Beta though and have seen the problem resolved let us know!

I've verified this issue on both my iPhone 5s and two iPad mini 4's. It began with iOS 9.3.0 and continues with the most recent iOS 9.3.1.

All devices are running the same iOS so having the same iOS version on the devices does not resolve the bug.

The work-arounds I have had to use are:

1. Never close the Messages app from Multitasking

2. If it is closed, then re-opened, either power-cycling the device or doing a Forced Restart of the device will resolve it temporarily, until the next time it happens.

It may seem like an "insignificant" issue, but in texts where you need to know if an iMessage was read by the recipient. It's a big deal.

I just Installed "iOS 9.3.2 Public Beta" that came out today , this bug is still happening for me 😟 So Apple has yet too address it.

Noooo 😟
