The iPhone is an incredibly powerful and convenient device, but it’s not witout its flaws. One of these issues is the ability to block read receipts in emails sent from the iPhone. If you’ve ever sent an email from your iPhone only to have the recipient know that you’ve read it, then you already know what a nuisance this can be. Fortunately, there are ways to block read receipts on the iPhone so that your recipient won’t be able to tell when you have read their emails.

If you use other email clients on your iPhone such as Gmail or Outlook, then blocking read receipts may require a bit more effort. With Gmail for example, open Messages and tap a conversation with the person for whom you want to disable read receipts. Tap ther profile icon at the top and then select Info icon before turning off “Send Read Receipts switch.” For Outlook users, open Settings > Privacy & Safety > Direct Messages > Uncheck “Show Read Receipts” to turn off read receipts.

Finally, if you use Apple Messages on your iPhone (it comes pre-installed as part of iOS), then messages sent through iMessage allow users to see if someone has read thir message if both parties have enabled “read receipts”. To turn this feature on or off go into Settings > Messages and enable/disable “Send Read Receipts” by flipping the switch accordingly.

Blocking read receipts on emails sent from your iPhone can help protect your privacy and prevent annoying notifications about when someone has seen your emails or messages. By follwing these simple steps outlined above, you can ensure that no one will be able to tell if or when you’ve viewed their emails sent via Apple Mail or other popular email clients such as Gmail and Outlook on your iPhone.
