Open the settings app in iOS. Scroll down to "Messages" and tap on it to view the Messages settings. Find "Read Receipts" and make sure it is toggled to the off position (in iOS 7, green is on and clear is off)
Nope. Once the receiver opens the message and iMessage sends the read receipt, it is permanent. If the receiver turns off read receipts after reading the message, existing messages will stay as read to the sender. All new read messages will show up as delivered to the sender until the setting is back on.
They can sign in with your Apple ID in their phone or MacBook and receive your iMessages. If you want to make sure 100% no one has access to your iMessages. Check that you don't have your Apple ID added to iMessage or no one has your Apple ID and password. On your iphone Go to.
They can be but aren't necessarily. If the other person has read receipts turned on and you do too, then yes it will go both ways. If only you have read receipts turned on, they would know when you read their message but you wouldn't know when they received yours.
If they have never switched it on, your message will go through as text. If they move devices (Android), it will continue to try send as iMessage (or fall back to text, as per above) until the person removes themselves from the iMessage service (Apple has a service that you can use to remove yourself from iMessage).

Read receipts can be disabled within the Chat settings in Messages. If someone has read receipts disabled, the checks won't appear within the app.I will keep it simple, whenever you ignore a person on Messenger. That person can still send you a message, but it will go to the filtered messages or hidden inbox. Those messages won't be visiting in your main chat on Messenger. You can still see that person in your active list and read his/her messages.
Yes there is. As soon as the recipient sees the message, the word “seen” along with the time the recipient opened the message appears in a small grey font below your message. However, there are some technicalities that you can follow if this is a serious issue in order to disable this option.

Launch the settings app from your iDevice and scroll till you see Notifications. Tap on the Notifications button and scroll a bit till you see Messages in your Notification Center. Once inside of the Message settings, scroll down about half way to the setting labeled “Show Preview”. Make sure it's set to off.
Actually, iMessage not saying “Delivered” simply means the messages has not yet been successfully delivered to the recipient's device due to some reasons. Reasons could be: their phone not having available Wi-Fi or cellular data networks, they have their iPhone off or on Do Not Disturb mode, etc.
WhatsApp has included a new feature in its latest app update – 'mark as unread'. This means that users can now mark messages as 'unread' even if they've been opened. As such, you won't be able to read a message, mark it as unread, and trick your friends into thinking it was never opened.
