Galaxy A02s. How do I stop people who send me a message from knowing I read it?

[Android Central Question]

I have the message app that came on the phone.
I looked and there is no way with the normal directions to do that.
I also have the Chomp app and cannot find a way to turn off read receipts there either.
Is there ANYONE who can help??
Even if there is no way to do this on either of those. 2 apps, is there an app I can download that does?
Thank you in advance.......if you help me that is ..lol

If you have RCS chat just turn it off in message settings.

Welcome to Android Central! Can you tell if you're using the Google Messages app or the Samsung Messages app? Since you said it's the one that came with the phone, I assume it's Samsung Messages, but some phones do come with Google Messages preinstalled.
