the amount of shit I would give you if I saw you pull out a little notepad in a crowded bar being bumped into by people and trying to scribble down 3 drink orders is not even funny, especially if you were a friend of mine

shut. up.

So in that case where people never check their phones how would seeing the read receipt matter if they are going to respond when they see it? And for important messages that need to be passed along wouldn't a phone call be more appropriate

agreed but this particular name implies its the fifth iphone... if they were to name it "iphone 1500" I could see that because its just an arbitray number

can we stop calling it iPhone5 its going to be the 6th iphone...

can we stop calling it iPhone5 its going to be the 6th iphone...

can we stop calling it iPhone5 its going to be the 6th iphone...

haha yeah i guess idk it would annoy the shit out of me to see they read it and didn't respond like it takes 10 seconds to respond... like you said personal preference

with the read receipt and no response you know FOR SURE that they are ignoring you... and without it you can guess they havent seen it yet

sorry ill reword my statement... that statement was for the people that were so worried that the person might notof gotten your message but what i should have said was that if you see that the message is delievered its a pretty sure bet that they will see it

I don't get how you dont consider yourself ignored if you send someone a text saying "hey what you up to today" and you see that they've read and and dont respond for the whole day...

what situation would you ever need them to think you havent read it... now a days everyones phones are with them at all times if i send a text message i have a pretty good idea they have seen it wether or not i have the READ receipt I dont need that to confirm it

okay one fo your concerns is that you're worried about forgetting to text them back... well you can still do this notification work around without the read receipt except now you dont have to worry about accidentally reading their text. And you say you don't want to reply right away but what does it matter if you are…

all of youre points still make no sense with the read receipt. and no its not more of a gurantee DELIVERED means that the message has showed up to the other persons phone so you have a pretty good idea that they have seen it.

youre joking right... so you dont want to type "Ok" but your willing to only view your messages through the notification center and if there is a text that you really dont want to respond to yet you have to worry about accidentally hitting the SMS button and showing that you have read it

there is a message delivered option in imessage...

or just respond saying "Hey ill get back to you soon"?

i got an idea. why not turn the feature off and now you don't have to worry about that....

i would get annoyed if I called someone and I knew they deliberately ignored my call which is essentially what they are doing when you see that they have read the text and not responded for hours. Everyone that is saying we are egotistical for wanting an "immediate" reply is jumping to conclusions, if i text a friend…
