- ericbarrett 5y agoThat's got to be pretty recent and only in certain markets though. I've yet to see a read receipt from SMS (U.S.).
- hadrien01 5y agoNo, it existed before the iPhone. It was actually weird to not have it on the iPhone, and I remember they were jailbreak tweaks to bring back the feature on the iPhone 3G.
- ericbarrett 5y agoTIL, guess I never had a phone that supported them. Do you know which platforms did?
- hadrien01 5y agoI don't know exactly, sorry. My Windows Phone had it. BlackBerry also had the feature, but people used BBM at the time anyway.
- blibble 5y agothe first mobile phone I ever owned (nokia 3310) supported it! from the manual: > Delivery reports > You can request the network to send delivery reports on your text messages (network service).
- Macha 5y agoI remember explicitly disabling acknowledging read reciepts on a sony ericsson in the mid-2000s because a friend of mine had discovered how to ask for them on their similar dumbphone and made dumb assumptions about how long until someone should reply.
- wott 5y ago> That's got to be pretty recent Yes: only 20 years or so ;-)
- dagmx 5y agoSMS (the protocol) doesn't have read receipts. Read receipts are a device specific implementation that sends a message back to the number ( and has existed since before smart phones )
