So I had my read receipts on with a specific person and they were working just fine then out of nowhere they stopped getting the notification that I read their messages even though it was still turned on. I have reset my phone, restarted it, toggled it on and off but nothing seems to be working. It works for everyone else except that person, how do I fix it?
iPhone 8 Plus, iOS 12.0.1
So what finally worked for me is turning off read receipts, Sign out of iMessage (actually signing out your Apple ID), resetting the network settings, reboot, turn on iMessage (sign in again) and turn on read receipts.
I have done this several times and it hasn't helped. From what I have been reading here, it seems to be people in families that are having the issue... like myself and my husband but it works for everyone else. not sure what the connection is. we did just recently switch carriers but it was working after we switched just fine then stopped one day... funny though it works with my same Apple ID on my laptop and iPad, same for him... just not our phones
I used to have an i6 phone about 5-6 years ago. Now have
T-Mobil and a LGv30.
Out of nowhere I'm getting bombarded by Apple Community emails. I was never in the Community so nobody should have my email address there. I get an average of 20 every 15-20 minutes in my spam filter. How can I stop them?
Just to clarify, the "Read" receipt is for you to know if that person has read your message. Nothing will show on your phone that you read their message. So, are you seeing delivered on your phone? If you expect to see "Read" then it's possible that person turned off their read receipts. Please let us know if you're expecting something different.
Interesting. I didn't know that. Mine is off, which makes sense given that my history remained on my phone, but was lost when I deleted the thread on my mac. I'm scared to turn it on now, given that things are working again. lol
I already tried that without any luck, along with logging out of my iCloud account for messages, logging out of iCloud in general, and toggling on and off read-receipts. That might be a resolution for some people but at least for the issue I'm experiencing it hasn't improved things. I'm hoping the next iOS update will have a fix for this.
I’m also having this problem which started about 2 days ago when I upgraded to the iPhone X. My SO has the iPhone 8 and he can see when I read a message but I can’t see when he reads mine. I’ve tried signing in and out of iMessage, rebooting, and everything else suggested in this thread. I hope this issue gets fixed soon.
So my read receipts is not working for my phone to show my bf has read my texts. it is turned on both of ours. He can see mine but I can’t see is. The issue is I can see other people with read receipt on except his. Is my phone the one with the issue or his? I tried all of the suggestions listed on here ...
I have my read receipts on and my partner also does and everything worked for a while but for a few months now the read receipt hasn’t worked. I contacted Apple and they said it could be solved with the latest update but no it’s still not working. Why and does anyone else have this issue?
We are doing that as well, but it is aggravating because we shouldn't have to do it and this has been a long time without a fix :( My husband, son and myself are having this issues and none of us are on the same plan.... so it makes no sense
Why is it SO difficult to change your apple ID password? The changing part isn't too bad. It's getting everything working right again that's a nightmare.
The important thing to remember is to sign out of everything before you do it.

Interesting. Do you have iCloud sync on or off for messages? Also, are you running any of the public betas on your phone?
Not sure what you mean by iCloud sync. I don't see a setting that says that on either my mac or phone. No, I'm not running any betas.
