Read notifications provide peace of mind, ensuring that your message was sent and delivered, and allowing you to know if it has been read yet.
However, read notifications can also bring about privacy concerns and potentially hurt feelings if someone reads your message but doesn't respond.
Read receipts only work if both parties have RCS chats enabled, so they won't work when messaging someone using an iPhone unless you use other messaging apps like WhatsApp or Facebook Messenger.
