How do I fix this?
iPhone SE (Gen 3)
Thank you for the reply Bruce7148@
Since this only occurs with this one specific contact, has the contact tried to delete the thread and create an entirely new thread to send to you? This can help us further isolate the issue. Also, make sure there are no blocks on either device as outlined under the "Manage your blocked phone numbers, contacts, and emails" section here: Block phone numbers, contacts, and emails on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch
Keep us posted.
Have a great day!
Hey there, Bruce7148!
Thank you for posting in Apple Support Communities.
Did you or your contact recently get a new phone?
Let’s try to delete the conversation with this one contact and then try to message them again. Let us know if everything is back to normal after that.
Kindest regards.
Thank you for the response. I did delete the conversation and the only change was that the bubble changed from green to blue. However it does not show delivered. The phones are the same and as stated this happened in mud conversation. I have reset network, turned phone off and on and nothing has changed.
Thank you all who responded. The solution seems to be the recipient deleted the thread, turned off IMessage, turned off iphone, turned on iphone and the iMessage and was able to send to me. Still not able to send to recipient. I turned off iMessage and Facetime and iphone and my network router and modem for 20 minutes. Then powered up turned everything on and it worked.
Again Thank You everyone. !!
Bruce7148,
If you've tried all the steps previously mentioned and still can't message that contact, reach out to Apple directly here: Get Support
Take care.
Shannon one other thing when i just sent a message from iphone it does not show as delivered however when that message pops up on my ipad it shows delivered even though it hasn’t been delivered.
Shannon additional info- on an older ipad (ios 9.3.5) when the message popped up it was green and a notice message failed to send was displayed.
thank you
Thank you. I will attempt all this this weekend and report the status.
I have one contact that I can not send or receive iMessage to/from. This happened in the middle of a conversation. Both my iPad and iPhone have iOS 15.4.1. Recipient is receiving messages from others, I am also able to send/recieve from others.
