My iMessage isn't saying its delivered

My iMessage isn't saying its delivered but they are receiving them and replying, but then its sends as a text as well because it hasn't 'delivered'. So it is sending twice. I have recently updated to iOS 9.2 and didn't have any problems before this. It is really frustrating, PLEASE HELP?!?!?!

iPhone 5c, iOS 9.0.2

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 have the same problem! Idk if it is from iOS 9.0.2 or not because this problem didn't start until several days after I updated my phone. I have the exact same issue as you, and oddly with only a few of my contacts (so far). Hopefully there's a fix for this soon! It seems like a lot of people are having this issue too. So frustrating!

...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 😟
