Can anyone help me on how to get the read receipts I have tried the setting on the messeges and its not working. I ordered my galaxy s21 ultra through samsung (unlocked) I hope what I read from the s20 is true for this phone too. That if the phone is bought unlocked this feature wont apply to your phone.😟

In order for read receipts to work, The Messages app, be it Google or Samsung, must have read receipts configured on and the carrier must also support this feature. Your recipient also must have read receipts activated for you to see if they read your message.
In other words, all the stars have to align 😉

both my carrier (tmobile) and my phone app (samsung) have the feature I just upgraded from my old s8 that's the only change. a technician went on my phone and reseted it and still nothing. and this literally just happened now.
Ask the person you're texting with to turn on read receipts at their end. Just like with email read receipts, most people don't want to enable that so that they can have the excuse "oh, I never saw that" 😉

Rumor has it that the latest update removed Chat features from Google Messages. Samsung Message should still work.

I just checked my phone and Google Messages does have those options under Chat. Are you saying that you have them as well bur they don't work?
Thanks

OK, Samsung Message is the factory default messaging app, it is what I use and I have those options and Verizon supports it. What I don't have is anyone to text that I know also has it enabled to test it 😉
