read receipt
Message opened alert
A read receipt is a notification confirming that a sent message has been opened by its recipient.
Email programs and messaging apps can generate them automatically: She turned off read receipts so people wouldn't know when she'd seen their texts.
The feature creates social pressure to respond promptly, which is why many users disable it.
