Can I delete an unopen text sent to me without the other sender knowing it?

[Android Central Question]

If both parties have the read receipt function on where it shows delivered and read in the text, if I delete it without opening it, will it say read on the senders side or will it stay on delivered?

I'm pretty sure you have to go into the text for read receipt to show

The message arrived at your phone, so a delivery receipt has already been sent to the sender.
To delete the message without the sender knowing, you will first need to turn off the read receipts.

Is the OP talking about basic default SMS messages, and/or about RCS?

Looks like RCS

Not sure why the OP needs what they are asking for, but if they are using RCS then I think they'd need to first disable that and go back to just plain old SMS, and then also make sure read SMS receipts aren't on, as others have suggested. Then, presumably there'd be no indication back to sender for if an SMS message was received/read.
