Hi Lililady0,


We understand you have a question regarding delivered iMessages. You will only receive the delivered status if the message was delivered. If the device you're sending the message to is turned off, you will not receive the delivered message. Once the device is turned back on and the message is received by the user, the delivered message will appear.
