iMessage read reports change from read to delivered

In the last couple of weeks I've noticed that when I send an iMessage from my iPhone 6 to my best friend, it first shows as delivered, as usual. She then reads it and it'll show as read. Then I'll go back into message later and it's turned back to delivered again, as tho the imessage hasn't been read at all.


Does anybody have an idea as to why its doing this?? Or what I can do to correct this???


Thank's in advance!!

iPhone 6, iOS 9.2.1

Ive not found the solution but have found that if I manually adjust the time on my phone, and close settings and messages, it shows as read again. Then I just put the time back to automatic, and message still shows as read. just another temp fix. Obviously we don't want to keep playing with the time, but until it's properly sorted, that's what I'm doing

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!!!

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.
