Iphone question about text messages that have been read.

If a message has been read and it's shows this to the sender, Can it be changed back to show delivered so it looks like it hasn't been read yet?

I saw someone had read my message on Tuesday but now it says delivered and i'm confused.

Yep; they've just turned their read receipts off so it doesn't show the sender that it's been read.

I just tried to do that and I wasn’t able to. Don’t think I’m missing anything.

Ah, that makes sense

ihatethecold · 07/03/2019 17:40

Its been making me wonder if I was seeing things. I was sure I looked a few days after sending the message and it said Read but now it says delivered.

I think there is a bug in the software that causes this.

ihatethecold · 07/03/2019 18:03

so do you think my friend has read the message or not?

Yes they probably have. Who wouldn’t read a text in days?

Me and my DP have noticed this, it's always on the last message sent iyswim, it will say delivered then read but then go back to delivered if we don't message again for a while, I'm not sure why but it does it with at least one of my friends as well

I would say it's definitely been read

ihatethecold · 07/03/2019 19:16

Thanks.
I tested it with my dd. If read receipts is switched off then it changes to delivered.

Yes, I’ve had this recently with someone who has no reason whatsoever to do this so I think it’s a bug too

MakeItAmazing · 07/03/2019 20:43

Is it the same with iPhone to Samsung ?

ihatethecold · 07/03/2019 21:37

No I don’t think so. It’s just iPhone to iPhone

Mine will say read and the time but later on in the day/next day it’ll change to delivered.

Toddlerteaplease · 07/03/2019 23:41

Mine does to.

MakeItAmazing · 08/03/2019 13:13

Thankyou Ihatethecold.

If it says delivered from iPhone to Samsung does that mean it's reached the phone and therefore not (showing as) blocked but they just haven't read it yet ?

ihatethecold · 08/03/2019 18:05

Ive never noticed anything on a text when delivered between 2 different operating systems.

Ok I had one say delivered. One sent as a text message rather than iMessage as for the previous one and nothing under the third text. Confused.
