Have You Read My Text?

Have you ever sent a text message and then wondered whether or not the recipient has read it yet?

If you're running iOS 5 on your iPhone then you now have that option… sort of.  More specifically, you have the ability to tell others if you've read their text messages.  But if you tell your spouse or best friend to return the favor then the option is pretty handy, especially if the message is urgent and you're debating whether to place a call.

It's simple.  Here's how:

Go to settings and click on "Messages."

Then slide the option to "send read receipts."
