iPhone 13 Read Receipts Showing Despite Being Turned Off

i have my read receipts turned off but my phone keeps on showing people I read their texts. Please fix this. I want my read receipts to be hidden. I would have never known if someone didn’t tell me I read their texts. This is iPhone 13

Check Individual Conversations:

  • Open the Messages app.
  • Go to any conversation where read receipts are being sent.
  • Tap the contact's name at the top.
  • Ensure that Send Read Receipts is turned off for that specific contact. Sometimes, settings can be overridden for individual contacts.
