Android: activate read receipt for SMS - is that possible?
Is there a read receipt for SMS on Android smartphones? This practical tip knows the answer.
Android: Activate receipt instead of read confirmation for SMS
On Android you cannot activate a read receipt for SMS, but you can activate a receipt receipt. With the confirmation of receipt you will receive a confirmation from your network provider when the SMS has been received by the recipient. While that doesn't mean the message was read, it was received. This confirmation of receipt is usually free of charge.
- First open the "Messages" app on your Android smartphone.
- Tap the menu button and then select the "Settings".
- Activate the "Delivery reports" option under the "SMS" category.
