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

I've been experiencing exactly the same problem, it's so frustrating! My iMessages always just say "Delivered" on my iPhone however on my Apple Watch they say the correct "Read at..." time. Then, if I send another message, the original will say "Read at..." on the iPhone and then new one will just say "Delivered" until the recipient replies!


I really hope Apple do something about this swiftly!

I've had the exact same problem since I bought my 6s a couple of months ago. I thought it was something with the recipients because it was only happening with a few people. I, too, thought it was just me. I'm glad (kind of) to see that it's not so isolated. However, the "this update or the next" reply is not reassuring... I worked in telecommunications customer service once. Those types of answers usually indicate not only is an answer unknown, but there isn't a lot of initiative to resolve it, either.. I don't mean to stir the pot.. I just hope it is escalated and resolved timely.
