You can only show the read icon once you've read their message by going to Settings > Messages > Send Read Receipts, if you want to know when they have read your message then they need this setting enabled as well

In Settings-Messages you can turn read receipts on. This is only applies for you. So when you receive a text from someone and you read it, THEY can see if you have read it. If you turn off the read receipts (as i have and other may have too) people can't see if you have read their messages. So if someone you are texting has their Read receipts off you CAN't see if they have read your message. Also this only works with iMessage. You can't get read receipts from normal cellular texts.
Hope i helped!

You can go to Settings>Messages and turn on "Send Read Receipts" for others to see that you have read their texts, but others will have to go to Settings>Messages and turn on "Send Read Receipts" for you to be able to see when they have read your texts.

Hope this helps.

The person your texting has to have the feature on, you can't control it from your phone
