How to tell if someone's read your text?

I texted my friend and she hasn't replied yet and I want to know if there's a way I can tell if she's read it or not.
I have an iPhone but she doesn't so we don't iMessage so I can't check that way.

I don't think there's anything like that.Mm maybe there's a app, but she'd have to download it or something but I highly doubt that there's an app for that: p sorry.

What's funny about your question is when ever you text a person do you truly know if that person is the one texting you back since you can't hear there voice from the telephone?

Not sure but I used to have phone I can't remember if it was samsung but in the setting there was an option for me to check if my message has been read or seen by the recipients. That was more than 6 years ago so I'm sure you'll be able to do that with the newer phones.

  • Will my iPhone tell the person I read his text? I got a text and read it and remembered that my read receipts were off so I know it'd still say delivered on his phone. After I read the text, I went to go turn on my read receipts. Will it change right away from delivered to read even though I changed the settings after or will it still say delivered for him since I read it before I changed it?
  • Is there anyway to tell if someone read your text? I have an iPhone but the person I texted doesn't is there anyway to find out if they open the text. I have at & t if that matters 14 minutes ago - 4 days left to answer.
  • Is there anyway to tell if someone has read your message or not? I have an IPhone 4S… Sometimes I get "read at 4:30" or something and sometimes it just says delivered… Is there a difference? And can I make so I always know when someone reads it?
  • Is there anyway to see when someone has read your text message on an iPhone 5? I have an iPhone 5 and whenever my boyfriend texts me he knows when I've read it or not (that's a whole nother issue… ) and I wanted to know if I could know when someone saw/read a text I sent to them, like he has. How come other phones can do this? Isn't that a privacy issue?
