Today I discovered that my ability to toggle show read receipts is gone from my settings for iphone’s messages. Is there any way I can recover this option? I have a iPhone 7 Plus with OS 12.01

I don't believe the option to turn on Read Receipts will appear if you do not have iMessage activated. I'm still searching to see if that is correct, but for now I believe that is the reason.
EDIT: I found this on a PC Magazine website while searching.
The process for enabling and disabling read receipts is the same on an iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch. Read receipts are not available for all types of messages, though. Apple iMessage-enabled texts are supported, but straight SMS messages are not. You can tell the difference by color. Your iMessage-enabled texts appear in blue, while SMS messages appear in green. Group messages don't support read receipts either.
Hi Joseph,
Just as you have mentioned, it turns out that I am unable to turn on read receipts for individual conversations either. I forced closed messages and restarted my phone, but nothing has changed.
My option to toggle show read receipts is gone for iPhone messages. How can I recover it?
