We all know the anxiety. You see “Read” at 2:17 AM. Panic ensues.
But here’s a sneaky trick: You can turn read receipts off for everyone. Settings > Messages > Show Read Receipts. Flip it to OFF. Instant peace.
Better yet? You can per-person them. Open a conversation. Tap the contact name at the top. Find “Send Read Receipts.” Toggle it on or off just for that one person. Your boss can see you read their message. Your best friend? They’re in the dark. Chaotic neutral energy.
