I use Android phones.
I've always wondered if someone can tell whether I've read their text or not. Not a DM through an app. An actual text through the cell service.
I don't know if the service provider makes a difference, but I use ATT.
I always have the read/receipt turned off in my settings because I don't care whether or not someone read a text I sent, and/or when they read it.
If I have read/receipt turned off on my end, I assume the person that sent me a text can't tell if I read their text.
Plus, most texts I just swipe down from top screen to read the snippet of text and then swipe left to remove the little notification alert symbol.
But when I do that, and never actually open text messaging to read the whole text(if it's longer than what i can see in the drop down snippet of text) and i have just swiped it away from main phone screen - when I actually do open my text messaging to respond to maybe a different person's text - the text(s) from a person I haven't ever actually opened will still be in dark black - but texts from other people that I have opened and/or responded too, will be in grayscale.
So it makes me believe that if a person sends me texts and I just glance briefly at the drop down from top and swipe away, and when I open my actual text messaging and see that their text is still in bold black, while others I have read and/or responded too are in grayscale - and I swipe again to delete their whole text(possibly multiple) chat/feed next to their name - then I assume they don't know whether I read them, or that I at least know of them and that I deleted the text feed/convo - because I have my read/receipt turned off.
Am I correct on this, or can people still know I at least am aware of a text from them, even if I don't open the actual text?
