Q: iMessage doesn't show "delivered" on sent texts. How come?

Hi everyone -

 

I sent a message to one of my friends who I regularly text. It's been a few weeks, and I hadn't texted this person. Then last night, I went to text them - it was a few pictures and some text. This morning I woke up and noticed the text sent as an iMessage (blue bubble) but did not say "delivered" on the bottom of the message, as iMessage usually does.

 

I've never seen this before, as everyone else that I text using iMessage, my messages go through as "delivered."

 

I've done a little Google research and am really unable to find anything on the topic, other than it could be that the person has their phone shut on/off. Well, this friend of mine is GLUED to their phone, and never has it off, and even if it was off, they would have received it by now, since it has been 12 hours.... It still does not say anything.

 

Does anyone know why this might be happening? Did this person block me? (I thought when you're blocked, it still goes through as "delivered" so you don't know). Did they really get my text, and iMessage just doesn't say "delivered" for some reason? (They are on Sprint, I am on Verizon... we both have iPhone 6+s .... not sure if that matters)

 

Any help anyone can give me would be appreciated.

iPhone 6 Plus, iOS 9.0.2

    Somehow I had a bunch of people blocked that i have no clue how it happened but that fixed my problem. Scroll to the bottom of your blocked list and I will bet that person is on the list

    I noticed I had my iPad on. It wasn't showing I sent message either. My phone looked just as yours said not delivered. I went to my iPad and resent message. It showed up as delivered both on my phone and iPad now. I think when you text between the two devices it can get dicey.
