Marking messages "read" on other devices with receipts disabled #862

The problem

Is it possible for signal-cli(-rest-api) to notify the Signal service that it has "read" a message with receipts disabled at the account level? This action works when using Signal's desktop & iOS clients, but so far I've been unable to get it to work with signal-cli-rest-api. Attempts to send "read" or "viewed" receipts return a "204 No Content" with no string. The behavior is unchanged even when testing after enabling read receipts on the accounts of both the sender & receiver.

The way it works for me between Signal's desktop & iOS clients is:

  • Send a message to a recipient contact
  • Observe notification of new message on both clients of the recipient
  • Open chat to view new message on one of the recipient’s clients
  • Observe notification removed from the other recipient client
