Read receipts are displayed when a message has been read, and typing indicators are displayed when a message is being typed in response. This feature is on by default.
If you’ve turned off read receipts and typing indicators, no one in the conversation can see whether you’ve read the message or if you’re typing a response.
When enabled, read receipts and typing indicators will show for all messages sent between you and your connections. Read receipts and typing indicators will not be visible to senders of InMail messages.
Note: For message requests, read receipts are only enabled once the recipient accepts the message request.
