Read Receipts

Read receipts are indicators that show whether someone has opened and viewed your message. When enabled, they let you know if your message has been seen, often with a checkmark or a notification. This feature helps manage expectations about communication, as it provides confirmation that your message has been received and read. However, recipients can usually choose to disable read receipts for privacy reasons, so their absence doesn't always mean they haven't seen your message. Overall, read receipts are tools for better awareness of message status but should be used mindful of privacy preferences.
