Here are some things to keep in mind:
- Sending a GIF might have gone through because some carriers handle MMS (multimedia messages) differently than SMS (text messages). A temporary network issue might have affected SMS but not MMS.
- Since the other person can send you texts, the issue likely lies with sending messages to them, not receiving them.
Needs clarity on this.
- Are you referring to SMS or any other form of texts?
- Are you able to send texts to other Android phones?
There are a few reasons why your texts might not be sending to this one Android contact while you can still receive theirs. Here are some troubleshooting steps you can try:
- Network Issues: A temporary glitch with your carrier or theirs could be causing the problem. Try restarting both your phones and see if that resolves it.
- Incorrect Number: Double-check that you have the recipient's number saved correctly in your phone's contacts. A typo or missing digit could prevent messages from going through.
If none of these steps work, there could be a problem with the recipient's phone settings or their carrier's network. In that case, they might need to contact their carrier for further assistance.
