Video Transcript:
By default, whenever you view a direct message on Twitter, the person who sent you that message can see a read receipt notification letting the sender know you read it. Thankfully, if you'd prefer other people not know when you've read their messages, you can turn these read receipts off. The only thing to keep in mind is that if you turn Twitter read receipts off, you'll also no longer be able to see when other people read the direct messages you send.
Now let's walk through the steps to turn off read receipts on Twitter.
Step 1. Launch the Twitter app on your iPhone, iPad or Android device. You'll land on your Twitter home screen.
Step 2. Tap your Twitter profile icon at the top of this screen. A menu pops up.
Step 3. Tap to expand "Settings and Support" at the bottom of this menu if this option isn't expanded by default, and then tap "Settings and Privacy" in the list of options. The Settings screen is shown.
Step 4. Tap "Privacy and Safety" in this menu. You'll land on the Privacy and Safety screen.
Step 5. Tap "Direct Messages." The Direct Messages screen is shown.
Step 6. Find the Show Read Receipts option, and then tap to toggle it off. Going forward the people who send you direct messages through Twitter will no longer receive a read receipt confirmation after you read their message.
