We've all got that one friend, the one we all secretly hate. It's not their crap hair or unwillingness to try new things that really narks you off though. More than anything it's their inability to reply to messages you know they've read in a timely manner that really grinds your gears. Well, it's time to play them at their own game, just more sneakily.
In iMessage, you can now opt in and out of sending read receipts - those little identifiers that let your messaging buddies know when you've read what they've written and decided not to reply anyway. This isn't just a blanket opt in/out option, either. You can turn it on or off per conversation, making it easier to dodge that friend's inappropriate requests for a date without feeling guilty. How? Well in your Message window of choice, hit the little 'i' icon in the top right corner then slide that Send Read Receipts toggle to off. Now you can ignore in complete ignominy.
