I know. I wasn’t being serious. Just trying to highlight the absurdity that this person is ignored when a CEO would get instant reaction. I hope the OP is ok too.

I think another posters idea to turn off read receipts was a good idea. Then the stalker won’t know if the message got through.

I wonder why somebody thought it was a good idea to make cell phones nark by default. read receipts was a dumb idea crafted by some middle manager from hell.

another option is to block unknown contacts from sending messages. IOS, the android/google messages and most messaging apps have a way to filter messages and just block anyone not in your contact list.

    its apple to apple or android to android, I think.
    
    I know IOS does it, though.

    iMessage and android RCS clients do it, but normal sms on android does not. Then basically every other chat app has it too.

    You get read receipt For iMessage, not for regular SMS.
