Can the iPhone 5 see when you read a message?

My friend has the iPhone 5, but I don't. Assuming that they have this setting on, can they still see if I read their text messages or not even though I don't have the same phone?

No my frend has an android, and i have an iphone and i can't see when he reads my messgae adn he can't c when i read his messages

its only works for iphone to iphone adn the setting needs to be on for that part

No only if they have imessage then they can, if they don't then they won't know whether you read it or not
