Read receipts not working on wife's iPhone

Read receipts working for everyone that has them on except wife’s phone. Everything is in on both phones, she can see my read receipts, and when she opens them on her iPad they show read but only the phone will not show read receipts. We’ve removed the iPad, logged out of iCloud, reset phones to factory, reset network settings, checked read receipts on both ends and everything is right. Any clues?

We need clarification, as your comments appear contradictory.

  • “Read receipts not working on wife’s iPhone” - OK. Perhaps that means:
    • She cannot send read receipts (likely)
    • She cannot view read receipts
  • “…she can see my read receipts,…” - Good, but:
  • “… only the phone will not show read receipts”. - Contradicts the previous bullet.
