Does anyone know if there is a technical reason why Signal doesn't offer per-conversation read receipt settings? The way it works now is it's global. I'd like to be able to say "I want read receipts with person X but not with everyone in general".

(I actually have receipts turned on globally, what I really want is to be able to say to specific people, hey can you enable them for me because I really could use them in this conversation.)

Totally shooting in the dark here, but maybe by the fact that conversations behave differently it could be possible to somehow distinguish between them?

@darius I’m sure they’ll get to implementing that right after they finish implementing privacy-critical features like introductions without revealing phone numbers

@darius do other messaging services do this? Not saying Signal shouldn't implement this. I would love it. But I'm not aware of others which allow this feature either
