    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).

      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.

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

        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.
