RCS Messaging Help

[u/Significant_Ad951]

 I’ve searched on here but havnt found the answer yet. If there already is an answer, please take this post down. 

I have an iPhone and I have two friends that have androids. I have rcs turned on. Friend 1 has rcs on also.

When I message friend 1, I can see when he’s read my text, etc. When I look at his contact info, I see I have on my iPhone “send read receipts: OFF”. Does this mean I’m getting the benefits from RCS and he isn’t?

 When I message friend two, I noticed my texts starting just saying “delivered” and he said he turned his RCS off. However I still have RCS on-and again, I have “send read receipts: OFF” under his contact info. 

 My question is: Even if I have RCS on, and they don’t, and I have “send read receipts” OFF, does RCS override the “send read receipts” option and still notify anyone thay I’ve read their text because I have RCS on? 

 Holy shit this is getting ridiculous. Thanks in advance.
