If you're sending an iMessage (they're blue and they only go to other iOS/MacOS users), you will see a delivered indicator under the message once it has been delivered. If the person you're sending the message to has the Read Receipt feature enabled, "Delivered" will change to "Read" once it's been read.


If you're sending SMS messages (green), you will only receive an indicator if delivery fails. SMS messaging is about the most reliable form of cellular communication. They very rarely fail. You will not receive a read indicator for SMS messages.

If you are in UK, most service providers will give a delivery report if you start your text with *0#


It might seem a pain but you soon get used to it. I’ve done this for over a decade on multiple networks(O2,3,EE,GiffGaff,1pMobile,ASDA-EE) but it would appear Vodafone don’t support it.


Hope that helps :)
