Android devices do not have iMessages and they use SMS (Both sending and Receiving) which requires nwetwork coverage though a Carrier Service and not WiFi.


Types of messages?

  • iMessage? --> Check your internet stability and connectivity. If the Apple server is the issue, it will show here --> Support - System Status - Apple
  • SMS/MMS? --> Does not need internet but contact your Carrier Service Provider for network coverage and outages ->: Down Detector - outages
