Are read receipts a power move?
Throwing on read receipts sends a strong message that you've read what they have to say and have no response. It prevents them from feeling the need to send an annoying follow-up text to ask if you've seen their last message, because the read receipt shows them you clearly have. It's a major power move.”
Why would he turn off his read receipts?
It means that someone does not want you to know your message has been received.
What does it mean when a guy turns on his read receipts?
Some admit to purposely turning read receipts on as an indirect means of “ghosting” someone, ie. disappearing from their life. Allowing someone to see their messages are being viewed but not returned. In the past, this might have been a begging letter from an ex returned to them unopened.
Why do people leave read on?
Yes, it's a bit lazy and can feel somewhat cruel if you've already established mutual interest or even commitment, but leaving a message “on read” is the non-confrontational method of “letting someone down easy.” Unfortunately, not responding is commonly done to get across the message of disinterest.
