Read receipts appear when a message has been read and typing indicators appear when someone is typing a response. This feature is on by default.
When read receipts and typing indicators are turned on, they'll show for all messages sent between you and your connections.
If turned off, no one in the conversation, including you, can see whether messages have been read or if someone is typing a response.
