iMessage Read Receipts Disappearing

I have had this problem since 2015, it is definitely not the phone itself seeing that I have now had three different phones since this problem has started, and it is still happening. I know it is not a major problem but it is super annoying and would love for them to get this fixed!

lol girl he playing you

I Have had the same issue and have done the same things everyone else has done. Yesterday I clicked the i in the circle top right corner of the contact name of the person I was messaging and there was a send read receipts button that was turned off. I turned it on and so did my friend and now all messages say "read".

So got off the phone with apple today. They say I have been the first to report this bug. This issue occurs only AFTER forc closing messages ( double tap and swipe up on messages) I've tried it on several phones and same issue. Right now the only fix is to never close messages.

My boyfriend turns on his individual read receipts on for me but says that it turns itself off every night and that he isn't turning it off, is itnpossible for individual read receipts to turn itself off?

I have a similar problem. As of Friday I'm not receiving any read receipt notifications to iMessages I've sent. All I'm receiving are delivered notifications. I checked with the sender and they do not have that feature turned off.

I'm having this issue too. I've noticed it when I told there was a new update and this is rather annoying. Can we please get help on getting this fixed

Same issue since public betas.

Can confirm this is still an issue even after factory resetting my phone today. It seems like a small deal but it's actually so confusing and inconvenient! Please please please fix!

I am still having this same problem. I have reset my network settings. I have gone to AT&T to get a new sim card and still the same problem. This is super annoying and would be great if they could provide a solution to this problem.

I had this problem too and became curious because I noticed it only happened with one person. I thought I may be getting played with a little by them. I tested this out with my sister and I think it may true. If they have their read receipts on and open the message and you notice that they read the message at a certain time just like normal but, they do not reply and then it goes back to delivered after awhile. They may be doing this because it just worked towards my sister. First, they open the message then they can go to settings > messages > turn off read receipts... double click home button kill the messages app, then the last message goes from "read at whatever time" to "delivered"... My sister and I both killed the messages app, so I'm not sure if you both have to or just the one trying to not show its been read.

I Have the same exact problem! it's very irritating and can we we please get a fix soon

I am having the same issue now in iOS 10. Very annoying. And its not due to the other person changing any read-receipt settings. I tested it out with my father. Screenshot every step.

So first my message was read and the read receipt showed it...

That's normal. Then I looked again at 4:57 pm, and it went back to "delivered"

Then even after a reply from my father, it still showed "delivered." Note that my father did not change his read-receipt settings.

Finally, after a hard reset of my iPad, the read receipt showed up again.

AND this whole thing occurred the same way on my iPhone as well.

I don't think this is a problem with my ipad or iPhone. I've done resets, erased settings, etc. It seems to be a bug in the iOS.

HELP!!

Thank you, THANK YOU for so explicitly detailing this problem. I find it infuriating!!! For a while I wondered if I was mad and had imagined seeing the receipts, and then I bugged all my friends and family members with iPhones by making them double check their read receipt settings were right... The inconsistency of it is maddening, isn't it?! What's the logic behind giving information like that for an indeterminable amount of time and then removing that information (and the possibility of having that information again?). I also found the other day that if it's been too long between the recipient reading the message and me then checking to see if/when it had been received/read then I also don't get a read receipt. E.g. I sent a message late at night to my mum who told me she read the message at 6:30 the next morning. By the time I went to check to see if she'd read the message it was 3pm and it still just said "delivered", which is when I phoned her assuming she hadn't got the message at all but she told me she'd read it first thing in the morning. I know that's a really boring story but it is so infuriating and senseless! I need an answer! And a fix!!! Is it by design for some reason of which I am totally unaware or is it just a glitch? If anyone knows the answer or knows how to fix this I'd be so very grateful. Thanks so much all. And apologies for the boring story!

PS frozen-nano: I love that your read receipts example is picturing actual receipts
