It can be helpful for people to know if their message has been read, or just not received. I appreciate it in others, so I do the courtesy of keeping it on for myself too.
Depends, if you have an abusive and manipulative ex who gas lights, that you share custody with, then you need time/space to let them calm down and to craft a non reactive response… It’s a mental health saver.
thanks for giving me a reminder, my phone updated and defaulted to the Google messages app, and I noticed it had the typing indicators. I forgot to look into how to turn that shit off and figure out what the fuck was happening
I don’t really text ever so RCS gave me a little surprise
