iMessage read reports change from read to delivered

Mine is still not working properly....very frustrating!

3 Months since original post...still no fix...this is getting more and more frustrating as time passes. I get the feeling apple as other fixes that our more important. All we can do is sit and wait and hopefully with the next update it gets addressed.

IM having this issue on all of my devices. MacBook Pro, iPad, iPhone. Sometimes I can check on one device and it's different to the other.

I have the same issue, proper PITA, the watch always shows it as being "read" but iPhone 6 w 9.3.2 changed back to "delivered".

Still no fix.....I guess we will have to wait for the release of ios10 this fall.

I have this problem with my iPhone 6 with the latest update. When I'm texting a iPhone 4S that can't get the latest updates anymore, then it changes from delivered to read and back again.

But after been reading this thread I don't think that's the problem anymore that it's an old phone. Started when I got updated to iOS 9.0 I'll guess.

Hello! I have the same problem. How did you solve the problem?

As of now, there isn't a fix. This has been an onging issue for 6 plus months. Not even a fix with previous iOS updates that have been released. I'm hoping with iOS 10 release in the fall it will be fixed. Fingers crossed.

this has been going on 6 months now and is beyond embarrassing! When is someone at Apple going to get their finger out their arse and fix this!?!?

Question... do either of you have an Apple Watch?

Nope and the issue is still ongoing.... very frustrating!

I don't know if someone already mentioned this, but I found out that it only does it when you "kill" the app (exit it out from running in the background). Also, if you turn your phone off then back on afterwards, it'll show as read again, and when you kill your app again, that particular message will never glitch and change back to "deliver". BUT, if you send another message, it shows that the person read the message, and you "kill" the app, the message will change back to saying "delivered" once again. Then turn your phone off and back on again, and it fixes. Again. And the process will repeat.

Basically if you never kill the messaging app, it will never have this glitch. But kill the app after seeing your message as read=read changes to delivered. Reset phone=problem solved.

I still don't know how to fix the issue, as Apple will probably have to get involved, but it at least explains when it happens and how to avoid it.

OK I've had this issue to for a while here's what I just did & it seemed to work. Turn iMessage off in settings, do a hard reset on the phone (holding down home button and power until you see the Apple logo), then once the phone restarts, go back to iMessage, turn it on and activate iMessage. problem should be resolved . Not for sure for how long but it worked for me. I've even close the app and come back to it and it still shows my messages read!!! Hopefully this helps you!

Its actually a fairly simple explanation. There isn't a bug with the software you can change a read receipt from "read" to only "delivered" by going back into your settings and turning the read receipts off after the message is sent. The message will then change the read receipt to just "delivered". This was probably done by the person on the other end to avoid you seeing that they read the message and then expect a response right then and there. Its actually kind of polite in a way but it saves the angst of seeing that someone read your message and didn't reply promptly.
