If you don’t have read receipts on, it’ll only indicate to your sender whether his message has been delivered successfully.
Then your friends and foes will be able to see when you’ve actually opened the Messages app on your device and looked at their musings, assuming they’re also using iMessages-this won’t work for plain old SMS texts. Note that if you have the iMessage button turned off, this option won’t even show up. To use this feature with your iOS device, just go to Settings > Messages and toggle Send Read Receipts to On. So here’s how you enable this (or how you make sure it’s off, for the suspicious ones- cough cough like me cough cough). It’s a per-device setting, so even if you have read receipts turned on for your iPhone, they won’t be sent for iMessages you get on your Mac unless you turn it on there, too.
It’s pretty neat, actually, for those of you who are trusting and honest enough to let folks know whether you’ve read their texts. Both the Messages app on your iOS 5 device and the new Messages beta for your Mac allow you to send read receipts when you’ve checked out what someone’s sent you.
