thanks @cwarnermm , some questions and request:
- we need to explicitly mention this needs enterprise advance license.
- the docs say the feature flag must be manually enabled, but it is already enabled by default. The note should be clarified this is only needed if its explicitly disabled.

Can we add that disabling the feature doesn't affect existing BoR messages? Receipts can still reveal and burn them.

The option to create burn on read messages is not available on mobile as of v11.3 release. Users can, however, receive and interact with bor messages.
