Yeah, the data use is minuscule.
As to the typing, however, that really doesn't show active typing. It actually just shows that the person has the app open and their cursor is in the message box.

Not true. Just having the app open with the cursor in the message box does not show the active typing indicator. It shows the typing indicator only if you did in fact start typing, and continue typing. You can type half a sentence and the indicator will show while you are typing it. If you stop typing for 5 seconds it will no longer show the typing indicator to the other party--not until you start typing again will it reappear for the other person.As to the typing, however, that really doesn't show active typing.

You will see it like this, below the message you sent: "Read 7:31 PM."How do you know if a person read your text? I have it on but I don't know exactly what it does when they do. If I send and says delivered?
see that's why I didn't get that. I don't text anyone but my GF and it was set to off on her phone, I thought it was my phone. Thanks!You will see it like this, below the message you sent: "Read 7:31 PM."
I have everyone I know on iOS 5.x turn on read receipts.

To clarify, not only must they have an iOS device, they must have a device running iOS 5.The person you're conversing with MUST have an iOS device, i.e. not a BlackBerry, or Android, etc.
Bear in mind, the person you're sending to must turn on read receipts (their option) for you to know when they read something you send.How do you know if a person read your text? I have it on but I don't know exactly what it does when they do. If I send and says delivered?
Lol. All I can think of is Fudd hunting rabbits. Sneaking around.Yeah, I got that now. it was set off on hers. She's sneaky like that![]()
