How do you show status of text messages

[AC Question]

I can see if my message has been read and can see when someone is typing. But it only does it for one of my contacts...help

That's kind of phony. The recipient can open the message and delete it without reading it, but you'll get a notification that it was read. (And it depends on the recipient's text app, not yours.) And, if the app is set to show the entire text in the list, the recipient can read it without accessing it, so he reads it but you never get notified.
