iMessage not telling me message is delivered

Me too. Brand new 6s, only few days old and I'm getting this. I've tried all the online tricks and suggestions, but still nothing.

Does the person you are sending the message to have send read receipts turned on under settings -messages-send read receipts?

Same issue here, and we are not the only ones, see here:

https://www.reddit.com/r/ios9/comments/3nr696/bug_imessage_not_saying_delivered_ and_sending_as/

It happens only with certain people and even not all the time, sometimes I get the received message properly.

If you have choosen in the settings to switch to SMS instead (if imessage does not work) the messages will turn green although the receiver has got them already as imessage.

This seems because of the fact, the "received" status does not pop up, although the imessage was received properly.

It took me two hours this morning to figure out what's happening with the messages going out to my wife and while most of them turn green although she received them properly 😟

I disabled the "SMS instead of imessage" function now. Now they at least do not turn green and stay blue, but I still get no "received" status on most of them.

I don't know, if that has todo with it, but my wife is still on IOS 8......I tried it with collegues and my daughter, who are running IOS 9 and it was working there....but this might not mean anything, because my daughter can send imessages from her IOS 9 iphone to my wifes IOS 8 phone without any problems...

It must be defintely something on the apple side 😟

I tried to contact Apple Support, but I'm out of my Support plan...there already a couple of the same claims in the forum, it seems that everybody starts his own thread instead of searching first through the existing claims....this would be much more efficient and put more pressure to apple support!

That does not make any difference, this would only show, when the recipient read it, but the delivered status should come at any time

...and even the worst thing is, what I just checked now. The messages, which turn green then will be handled by the provider as sms, so you actually have to pay for them, although the recipient received already the imessage and the sms would not be needed.

So if you haven't got free sms in your contact, you are screwed 😟

i have this exact same issue, with the same phone! this is ridiculous!!!!

What is the color of the text balloon after the message is sent? If it is blue then the message was sent as an iMessage, if it is green then the message was sent as a regular MMS or TXT message and there will not be either a "Delivered" or "Read" response. Non iPhones don't respond to iMessages with receive or read receipts, the message may still be received but only as a regular MMS or TXT and there will not be a response to the sender other than the message on the sender's phone being in a green balloon. Assuming that both of those recipients have iPhones, it is possible that their phones are not set to allow for the use of iMessagees or read notifications. Have them go to Settings/Messages, on that screen there at 4 items at the top, three of them have toggles and those three toggles should all be turned on in order to use iMessage and send a read receipt. There are some people that purposely turn off the "Send Read Receipts" notification toggle to avoid having the sender expect an intimidate response because they have been made aware that the message has been displayed on the recipients message screen causing the sender to assume that it has been read and that is not always the case.

sorry pepe, but that is simply technically not true

the iphone tries to send an imessage, but if the message cannot be delivered, it will be changed to sms, if you enabled that feature.

you can see that when you send the message out, it is blue, and after a minute or so, it turns to green.

and normally, everytime you send an imessage, you get a small text below, stating delivered, as a confirmation that the message went through. this has nothin todo with the confirmation, that the recipient has read it, which you can enable or disable.

so in fact, what happens is, the message goes out as imessage and is actually delivered, but the confirmation is not coming back so your iphone thinks, it was not delivered and tries again as sms after some waiting time...

...just to let you know, it was working again now for the last couple of messages, I received the usual deliverd message below the sent out imessages, which did not happen during nearly the whole day.

I think, that most people will not even notice this issue, because you need the have the feature, to switch to SMS if imessage cannot be delivered, enabled. When you leave that disabled, all your imessages stay blue, but you simply get no delivered status, which makes no difference, as the imessage did go out anyway and the phone does not revert to SMS automatically so it makes no difference for the user.

You only notice that whole issue, when your sent imessages turn from blue to green........

My iMessages are delivering but not coming up as delivered in my phone.. then I wud send it as a text just incase it didn't go through to the person even though it did. Do you know how to resolve this?

This seems to be a problem on the system side, so I assume, it can only be solve by Apple.....
