Not possible.

"Unfortunately, the global standard for the SMS protocol does not support the concept of "Read" receipts. Therefore, it's not possible to add this feature to Textra." Straight from the knowledge base. You are asking for a feature that uses RCS messaging, not SMS. Textra is an SMS app.

This is standard in every text app I've ever used. Was surprised when I didn't see it with Textra. Most apps either have them above/below each other or on more info when selecting a message.

Like spyingon your receiver? No thanks.

Yes! At least if both parties are using the app! Plus messaging has this feature!

Yes I agree

Especially for SMS... after all, a message's arrival is immaterial until it is seen and read

SMS and MMS would really benefit from thisl

I would love to have this for all sms and mms as well. I live in an area where cell service is scanty and not everyone recieves. This way I know who actually gets my msgs vs who just hates me

Showing delivery is great, but I would really like to see "read", " opened", or something of that nature.

I often do not want the sender of a message to know that I have received or red there message. Can we build in an opt-out function that restricts the return of sent and read confirmations to the original sender?

Here! Here!
