How to get rid of "sending failure" notifications in iMessage? I sent an SMS to the contact, it didn't arrive and I deleted it. And now I have this notification every day. HELP ME!

Hey there RetroUser1,


Since the message has been deleted and the alert persists, try closing the Messages app and restarting your iPad. This can help just in case the issue is related to any app issues.


Should this continue, check for and install any available app and software updates. Follow the steps below to update your iPad:


1. Back up your device using iCloud or your computer.
2. Plug your device into power and connect to the internet with Wi-Fi.
3. Go to Settings > General, then tap Software Update.
4. If you see more than one software update option available, choose the one that you want to install.
5. Tap Install Now. If you see Download and Install instead, tap it to download the update, enter your passcode, then tap Install Now. If you don't know your passcode, learn what to do.
