Everyone in my country uses Whatsapp and it let’s you disable read receipts at the cost of not being able to see whether others have seen your message.
Same, though I think that’s more on the texting app than the OS itself, but I guess it does depend on what the OS exposes and how much it locks down SMS stuff even with SMS permissions.
Or use a text app that doesn’t support read receipts, or one that lets you disable them (plus the “I’m typing a message” indicator).
Iirc I disabled that shit back in the msn messenger days (though I used trillian, not sure if the official client had the option).

Yeah, that’s a fair tradeoff.
I’m technically using GrapheneOS and they don’t support any of the “fancy” features, just plain simple SMS.
