It can be helpful for people to know if their message has been read, or just not received. I appreciate it in others, so I do the courtesy of keeping it on for myself too.
Depends, if you have an abusive and manipulative ex who gas lights, that you share custody with, then you need time/space to let them calm down and to craft a non reactive response… It’s a mental health saver.
thanks for giving me a reminder, my phone updated and defaulted to the Google messages app, and I noticed it had the typing indicators. I forgot to look into how to turn that shit off and figure out what the fuck was happening
I don’t really text ever so RCS gave me a little surprise

Turning of read receipts does not turn off delivery receipts.
Then that must’ve changed because it definitely used to. On WhatsApp at least.

I make a point of letting people know (incase they dont know/forgot to set the option).
Once I had an acquaintance tell me that she wanted people to know she was ignoring them. Like, using the read receipt as a power move.
