  We tested this extensively. On Android we all have the setting to turn off read receipts. It’s broken. It does not turn off rear receipts for us. Our phones run the gamut from pixel 9 pro/+ to a pixel 5. To get ready receipts to go away we had to turn off RCS completely.

  They’re referring to iOS devices, the Read Receipts toggle on iOS is for iMessage not RCS.

    It is for both I think, as I do not get read receipts from some people with iOS and some I do.

      Apple left this little note in their article;

      *Note: To use read receipts, you and your recipient must turn on iMessage.

      Which leads to believe the toggle is for iMessage only.

      as I do not get read receipts from some people with iOS and some I do.

      This is what I’ve heard from my Android homies as well, it’s very much a hit or miss it seems.
