  I know that some jobs require people to have read receipts, but I cannot fathom any reason why anyone would choose this of their own volition. If for no other reason than I imagine text spammers use it to figure out if a number is “active.”

  I just turn off read receipts if it’s really a problem, or let them see that I’ve read it. Who cares?

  The whole point of this shit is asynchronous communication. They can interpret my actions however they like, and get over it or not as they like.

  I’ve used the trick of Inspect Element to read the full message before. Ultra sneaky.

    On my phone I can usually just press-and-hold the notification or conversation and see the full message in the preview while holding. Then I can just release when I’m done and the conversation stays unread because I never actually opened it.

  I use the trick of disabling read checkmarks, or “online” indicators, or “typing” indicators. I’ll answer when I find the time and motivation for it. I’m to old to play mindgames
