To access read receipts the receiver needs to go to Settings > Messages > Send Read Receipts.  Verify that it is turned on. But even when the user tried toggling the ‘read recipts’ option on both phones and restarting but nothing works. In some cases the issue is more specific like can see everyone else's read receipts except for one users.


This is very annoying that as the latest iOS 12.1.2 has this issue and read receipt randomly stops working. This seems to be a iPhone message bug in iOS 14. Even on the latest iPhone 11 Pro Max/ XR/XS/X/7/6 you can see this issue occurring frequently.
