Can people still see if I read their messages even if their read receipts are off?

I just got an iPhone a few days ago and my read receipts are on so people can see if I read it or not. But my friend's read receipts are off so I can't see if she read mine. Is that friend able to see that I read her texts even though hers are off?

She can see yours if they are on, on your end. She may be like me, and not care if others have it on or not. Because on our ends, text and email are just tools, and we don't care if the messages we sent are read or not, unless getting a response is important. Then we normally call if it is time sensitive, or at least say so in the text/email.

She is currently seeing that you read her message. Turn YOUR read receipt off to prevent this. Go to settings and messaging.

Yes if you have yours on
