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?

Settings under imessage

Open Settings and choose "Messages
Flip the switch next to "Send Read Receipts" to OFF
Close out of Settings

  • I'm not receiving any email receipts from itunes I have purchased several apps on my iphone 5 since 5/30 and I have not seen a single receipt sent to my email. It's usually sent to my email about 1 to 3 days after I make a purchase. I have proof I made those purchases since all of them appeared on my itunes account in my purchase history. I have been purchasing these apps on my $25 gift card.
