iPhone read receipts are off but still showing. New iPhone 16, Ipad air , MacBook Air. off on all three. HELP ????
iPhone 16, iOS 18
In addition to the option within Settings to turn off the Read Receipts option, also check the properties for that individual that indicates it is showing the “Read” indicator. A screenshot for an individual contact is shown below.
If you are seeing “Read” on a message you sent, that would indicate that the recipient has enabled that option.

No, that is not what I am saying. For clarification, are you seeing an indication that the message has been read? Or is the recipient seeing that indication?

I'm not seeing "read". My friend told me they are seeing "read" on my incoming texts to her. ???? Thank you for answering so promptly.
