IPhone 4S: Any way to turn off Read text feature?
Depending on who I'm texting (and, I assume, the type of phone he or she uses), I'm notified as to whether or not that person has read my text. The word "Delivered", which appears under my text after it successfully goes through, changes to "Read" upon the recipient opening our text conversation. I imagine the textee in this instance is also able to see if I have read their text or not. Is there any way to disable this feature so that neither party knows if the other person has or hasn't "read" their text? This is not a matter of grave concern; I just find this facet of the iPhone slightly creepy.
To change the setting go to
settings > mesages > Send read receipts OFF
They won't be able to see when you've read their messages. You won't be able to control whether or not you can see if they've read your messages, though. They would have to change their settings.
Some like that feature (like boyfriend - girlfriend) … But yeah I prefer it off which you can turn off in the settings.
- When I turn my iPhone off I don't receive any messages when I turn it back on? My iPhones been like this for a while. I'll turn it off and say my friend will text me, when I turn it back on I won't get any of the messages. Anyone know how to fix this?
- Is there a way to read a text conversation from the very beginning (iPhone)? My friend and I have been sending texts back and forth for a while and I want re-read them from the very first text (out of curiosity and boredom). I have an iPhone 6. Is there anything I can do?
- IPhone ringer toggle is broken, any other way to turn ringer on/off? The speakers very clearly work, and the phone's volume function, just the ringer on/off toggle and ringer volume buttons are non-op. Is there a way to turn my ringer on/off without the toggle and adjust the ringer volume without the buttons. I have an iPhone 4 and am running iOS 7. If there's an app that'll handle it you'll get your 10 pts. For sure.
