Mods, forgive me if there is already a thread on this. If there is, just delete this.
Do you have your iMessage read receipts set to on or off? What's your reason?
I have mine set to off. I never really liked people having the ability to know that I've actually opened the
message. I hated it on BBM and am glad that this feature can actually be controlled on iMessage.
Default is set to "off." I turned mine on, I find it useful most of the time, though sometimes it does irk me, like if I am busy and just slide to unlock and it opens the text,.. I may not have time to respond then and whomever thinks I've taken the time out to read it.
Off. And I wish I could turn off delivery, too. I don't like people knowing when my phone is on and when I'm reading their messages, because then they start sending me follow-up messages like "fury fury fury I know you're reading this, why aren't you replying?"
I leave mine on. There are certain people who I want to make sure they get my messages so I don't mind returning the favor. If it's someone I don't want to know if I read their message, I just ignore the message until a later time. Simple.
Mine is set to off, but it's really not an issue for me because when I get a text message, I usually read it immediately unless I'm doing something to where I can't and I don't mind if people know when I actually read their messages.
ON. wife may message me while I am at work or vice versa. With receipts on, we know why we haven't replied is due to being busy or a meeting. If they are not worth letting them know I read it then they are not worth being my iMessage friend.
I left it off, theres people who I want to ignore for as long as I can.

Both of these are the reasons mine is off. I don't need a dozen more messages wanting to know where I am or why I'm ignoring them. Worst thing ever was the buzz option on BBM. I had both of those set to where it wouldn't vibrate.

That buzz thing was the worst. I'd make sure to immediately have it off whenever I would switch BB's.

It would be cool to be able to set it up by each contact..
