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 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?
So... I'm having this trouble too. I've tried logging out and back in of messages on both my mac and iPhone with no luck. Neither show read receipts. It's just my wife that we have read receipts turned on between us. She sees mine just fine, I don't see her's. This all started when Apple suddenly required me to change my apple ID password. My guess is they have some safety that detected someone trying to hack it and forced a password change.
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.

Thank you for the article. I'll go through it and see if I missed anything.
It's easier said than done to sign out of everything. We're heavy apple family users. Couple apple TVs, iPad, iPhone, mac at home, mac at work. It's a serious chore to do that. My point was, it shouldn't be this difficult. Apple needs to do some serious work on unifying logins.
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
Still no solution on this?
Mine is not working either. Just started.
Golly gosh, Thanks! Didn't help at all but I get to reset Apple IDs on all devices. What fun!
Very interesting. Thanks.
Are you saying sign out of iCloud?
