iMessage - Send Read Receipt

[anon(153966)]

I'm just being nosy. If you use iMessage, do you allow the, 'Send Read Receipt'?

 

[warcraftWidow]

Yes

 

[Ledsteplin]

I do. My cousin doesn't because he doesn't want anyone to know if he has read the text. If they know he's read it, they expect a reply. He doesn't always want to reply. So he leaves them hanging. That way he can say, "Oh, I didn't see that!".

I don't. I communicate via iMessage with relatively few people, and with iMessage you can see if the other person is responding.

Perhaps its also because I still remember a time when there were no pagers or smartphones, and it often came down to luck finding someone at home or work so that you could talk or leave a message.

For stuff that is time sensitive, I'll call.

I do and prefer when others do

No sir, and as been mentioned above, people often expect an immediate response and sometimes I'm simply not able to provide an immediate response.

Nope. I keep it turned off.

Nope

I feel the exact same way. When I start talking to someone and it's off I let them know how to turn it on in case they didn't know. Sometimes they really didn't know, sometimes they don't want it on.

I leave it off, because like other people say, if I don't want to respond, I don't have to have them bother me because "I saw the text!"

+1 for me as well.

It's OFF✋

 

[warcraftWidow]

I leave mine on but if I don't want to respond, I don't. I just don't care if people complain about not getting a response immediately because unless it is a very rare critical work issue, I don't feel any obligation to respond according to others' expectations.

 

[jprice912]

I leave mine on as well. I don't care if people know that I have read it and I don't feel obligated to respond regardless of whether they know I have read it or not

 

[cmrobbins42]

Mine are off. It's easier that way with some of my friends.

 

[Blackcash]

Mine is off. Most in the circle of my friends that use iMessage is off, too.

Mine is on. I use it a lot at work, to communicate with people, and it's helpful to me to know they saw it, and I know I don't have to call/page them. Most of my coworkers have it on. In my personal life, my significant other has it on. That's how I know if he's fallen asleep when I'm texting him! (Now with e-mail I find it annoying to be asked to send a read receipt.)

I don't because I have a lot of people that text me who I just ignore.
