Read Receipts Should Be Mandatorily Enabled

[B86]

Don’t get me wrong, there’s literally only 1 person I text that has their read receipts turned on and mine ain’t never been on either.

The one person with them turned on is my technologically challenged best friend and it’s the best shyt ever. I can damn near tell what this nikka is doing or thinking depending on how long it takes him to read the message combined with how long it takes him to reply. If he reads it quick then starts typing, it’s whatever. If he reads it quick then takes long to start typing, he’s overthinking some shyt. If he reads it, starts typing, then stops, then start typing again, he was about to say some idiotic shyt. And if he doesn’t read the message, he’s at his second BM’s house where he won’t pull out his phone.

Knowing/assuming that if most people had on their read receipts we could all do the same shyt; so I ain’t say nothing special, but If I had these super powers with everybody I text, I think I could manipulate a nun out of her draws…

Still dont prove they read the email/text

Just proves they selected it

 

[FukYaFeelings]

I have my read receipts on…I just read the message in my notifications before I click on it

I hate when people do that shyt on emails at work. Then I feel obligated to respond right away

I’m conflicted on this one.

read receipts on an email or text means it PROBABLY sent by a sociopath and not some urgent time sensitive shyt lol...

like the fukk is this

maybe someone is taking a shyt. juggling multiple texts. etc. if you start reading into messages that ain't even sent yet, then you're diving into communication depths that people simply ain't meant to be at and there is no perfect response possible. and its not the repliers fault either - you applied that anxiety.

read receipts on text are for the technologically inept or people who use them to play games, the rest of us turn that shyt off

I keep mine on to hold myself accountable to texting ppl back.

Ppl take advantage of it though and get pissed when I read it and don’t respond.

They be like “so you gonna read and not respond?”

One time I turned my receipts off and a nikka started dming me on IG instead so he can KNOW I read that shyt (ig has read receipts on for everyone)

I always wonder if people know? It's like a relationship thing sometimes right? Like people who share locations. There has to be some reason. I told a few people and they didn't know, and profusely thanked me.

Not everyone is as vigilant with their phone as I am, I see every single message, but I also don't have social media, no dating apps, so it's just texts, some people have an incredible amount of volume, and with everyone attention to fried, sometimes it is legit that people don't see it, I have seen women's phones with like 57 unread messages, and 87 missed calls.

That said, I think I read a legit statistic that felt accurate, and that was most people see the text within 90 seconds of getting it. Mostly people not responding or responding days later, is simply signaling, performative optics, product of social media, as in if you text back too fast, you are interested, or too interested, and responding later shows power. You don't really need read receipts, just assume they saw it. the read receipt is just like the twist of the knife. Even if they didn't open the message, they probably saw it as it was delivered.

I always think it's weirder, like to hit me back at like 7:00 AM (after the guys gone!) when often I kind forgot or moved past whatever it was. Most things are best replied to sooner. It loses context.
