I have iPhone 11

and my issue I’m having is ….. when I text someone and send the text it goes through and says delivered. Okay now that person reads my text and text me back but the original text I sent still says delivered instead of read message

iPhone 11, iOS 15

As sberman said, it is up to the person that you sent the message to to take the time to configure their device to send the Read receipt. The may have turned it off, or it could have been turned off if they updated. It is up to them. If they don't want to use that any longer, that is their decision to make.

No your not getting it they have that option on , this is something that is malfunctioning. My mother have hers turned on and mine is turned on as well and when she reads my message the original message I sent still says delivered. This is something with Apple

Check the message from your mother tap on her name and look and make sure that Read Receipts in turned on here too. It could be overwriting your preference in the other Setting. That would control your Read receipt to her. Have her check on her device to see if it is turned for her. Try restarting the phones. Is your mother using an iPhone too? I'm not experiencing a problem, so I know it is not something that everyone is experiencing. You have the ability now to turn it on/off for individual people now, not a blanket setting for all.
