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

Tbh, it is starting to cause serious relationship troubles between me and my bestfriend. One time it says the message has been read already, another time it will say it's just been delivered. I'll ask her via another messaging app if she saw my iMessage already (especially if there was no reply to it yet and it happens to be a very urgent inquiry/message), and she'll say she already did. We'll argue about it for a little while and I'll go back to iMessage to check if it still says Delivered and it still does! A few hours after, once we're together already, she'll ask me about it and naturally, I'll show her my thread displaying Delivered under my important message, only to see that it has already changed back to Read! Result? She'll accuse me of making everything up!


Apple should seriously solve this in the next update. Small but very significant problem.
