<div id="link_wrapped_content"> <body><section class="wp-block-bigbite-multi-title"><div class="container"></div></section><p>Read receipts in iMessage within Messages lets you allow other people to know when you’ve read a message they sent you. You can turn the feature on globally in iOS or iPadOS at Settings > Messages or in macOS in Messages at Messages > Preferences > iMessage.</p> <p>While the global setting affects both everyone in your contacts list and all other iMessages interactions, you can override it on a person-by-person basis. Strangely, you don’t use Contacts to control this setting. Instead, you have to start with a conversation in Messages in iOS/iPadOS or macOS.</p> <div class="extendedBlock-wrapper block-coreImage right"><div class="wp-block-image"><figure class="alignright size-full is-resized"><img loading="lazy" src="https://b2c-contenthub.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/12/mac911-read-receipts-message-convo.png" alt="" class="wp-image-561985" width="400" srcset="https://b2c-contenthub.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/12/mac911-read-receipts-message-convo.png?quality=50&strip=all 1113w, https://b2c-contenthub.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/12/mac911-read-receipts-message-convo.png?resize=300%2C209&quality=50&strip=all 300w, https://b2c-contenthub.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/12/mac911-read-receipts-message-convo.png?resize=768%2C535&quality=50&strip=all 768w" height="714" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px" /><figcaption>Control read receipts for individuals via Messages’s info view for a person.</figcaption></figure></div></div> <p>In Messages in iOS or iPadOS, select a conversation and tap the person’s avatar. Swipe down to find the Send Read Receipts switch. You can enable or disable it.</p> <p>In macOS, launch Messages and select a conversation. Click the i info button in the upper-right corner of the window and then scroll to find the Send Read Receipts checkbox.</p> <h2 id="ask-mac-911">Ask Mac 911</h2> <p>We’ve compiled a list of the questions we get asked most frequently, along with answers and links to columns: read our super FAQ (http://www.macworld.com/article/3077986/os-x/your-top-questions-to-mac-911-and-some-answers.html) to see if your question is covered.
