How to have read receipts for text messages (using an Iphone 4S)?

I want to know if someone I texted has read my text.

Is there a way to do this on an Iphone 4S?

Thanks in advance. This will help a lot.

Added (1). Also, the recipient of the text message does not have an Iphone. I believe he has a Samsung Galaxy.

Simply go to Setting / Messages and turn on the "Send Read Receipts" option.

In this case, no. Both parties need to be using iMessage, whether it be on an iPhone, iPad, iPod or iMac. It does not work for regular text messages.

  • Read messages on my iPhone sometimes show up as unread messages on my Mac? - 1 I'm talking about email messages. I have my accounts hooked up to iCloud, so if I read an email on my iPhone or Mac, it should count it as read on the other device. It has worked, but sometimes it doesn't. What can/should I do?

  • How to turn off read receipts on iPhone 5? I have had my iPhone 5 for a while now and I don't want iMessage to send read receipts anymore. I went into settings and turned it off, but they continue to appear. I also use iMessage on my laptop, but I have read receipts turned of on that as well. Does anyone know how I can stop these and have my iMessage just say delivered and not let people see when I read them?
