There is a read time after imessage is sent. Do you mean the time actually seen by the other party?

Reading time in imessage refers to the time actually seen by the other party.

"Send a read receipt" in the message is a new function of iOS5, and SMS of iMessage sends a report.

When the iMessage is sent to the receiver, it will display "Sent", and after reading, it will display "Read" and "Reading Time".

"Sent" and "read" actually mean that the receiver sends a piece of its own status information to the Apple server, and then Apple feeds this information back to the sender. The same is true when typing. Many IM softwares also support chat status feedback.

There are only two statuses: Read and Sent. Although this state is transmitted through Apple's server, it is judged locally before sending the information.

Therefore, if you block the status of this imessage locally and prevent iOS from informing Apple's server, the other party will not receive the "read" and "sent" prompts.

Extended data:

With iMessage, you can chat with anyone who uses iPad, iPhone, iPod touch or runs many people.

Mac users of Mountain Lion send and receive messages to each other, and can also send photos, videos, location information and contact information. If there is not only one Apple device, iMessage can keep continuous conversations on all devices.

In addition, you can send text messages, photos and videos to other mobile phones through the cellular network. You can even ask Siri to text you. As long as you say the information you want to send, Siri will automatically write and send the information.

"iMessage spam messages can be eliminated by setting. Just go to Settings-Notifications-Information in the iOS system and change the "Show iMessage Reminders of the following people" from "Anyone" to "Only My Address Book".

From then on, only the contacts who send iMessage in the address book will be reminded, and messages sent by other strange IDs will not be reminded.

In addition to setting interception on mobile phones, users can also log on to Apple's website and report the Apple ID that sent spam messages for Apple to handle.
