If you’re like most people, you probably don’t think much about read receipts when you’re emailing. But if you want to make sure that your emails are being read and responded to, turning on read receipts is a good way to do it. Here’s how to do it on your iPhone:

  1. Open the Settings app on your iPhone.
  2. Tap Mail, Contacts, Calendars.
  3. Under “Mail,” tap the account that you want to change the settings for.
  4. Under “Settings,” tap “Read Receipts.” If you have more than one email account set up on your iPhone, repeat these steps for each one.
  5. To turn on read receipts for an email, slide the switch next to “Read Receipts” all the way to the right (or left if you want to disable them). You’ll see a message telling you that read receipts have been turned on or off for this account and mailbox (if applicable). ..
