Turn Off Active Text Bubble
How can you turn off the active text bubble? I don't care to let everyone know if I've looked at my phone, if I'm texting anyone. Why would this even be a thing?!
iPhone 13 Pro
There is no setting I'm aware of to turn this off in iMessage. As to why, we cannot offer an answer. This isn't Apple Support here. This is a user to user only forum and we users didn't have anything to to do with iOS or how it works. There are workarounds you can use. Such as start a new message as opposed to typing a response.
Otherwise, feel free to let Apple know this is something you'd like to see in a future release --> Feedback - iPhone - Apple
To me, I'm not sure why this is objectionable? If you are typing on your phone, people around you know you are typing on your phone. I thought the active text bubble was more for the person you're texting with to see you are typing a response?
