iMessage doesn't show "delivered" on sent texts. How come?

Everything I've read says that iMessages still say delivered when you are blocked by someone. I'm sure you haven't been blocked, I just don't think he's getting them. Have you tried sending any more iMessages to him? Have you tried sending them as SMS? Mine won't go through either way. Something on their end is preventing them from receiving. My friend thinks its on my end, but I'm 99% certain its on his lol. I'm still super frustrated by this!!!

I have sent a text message to someone I regularly text. It doesn't say delivered at the end. How do I know if they received it?

Was this an iMessage (blue)? Or an SMS message (green)? If it was an SMS message, you won't see a "Delivered" message. However, SMS is about the most reliable mode of messaging. SMS will go through even when you don't have enough cell signal to make a call.

This is a current issues still on 4-2-17. I'm having the same problem where I send a message and it stays blue for days until the other person randomly hits me up with a new message. The other person's carrier is with Verizon and I'm with at&t. Hopefully there's a fix for this soon. lol

IN IOS 10.3.1 (earlier and later) GO to settings, messages, TURN ON iMessage. And check Send Read Receipts and Send as SMS.

Neither of those features have anything to do with whether or not the "Delivered" indicator appears.

When I seen a message it doesn’t show delivered or not .

Is the message iMessage (blue) or SMS (green)? SMS will only show a status message if it fails. You will not see an indication that it has been delivered.

If you're not running the latest version of iOS 11, you should update. Apple releases security updates in almost every release.

I have no idea if it will solve your other problem.

Yes, they go through as an iMessage, they turn blue, but never say "delivered." I know for a fact that he is not receiving them because he will text me and have no clue that I've sent him a thing. I even try sending them as SMS and he doesn't seem to get those either. Once he starts messaging then mine start going through, but none that I tried sending previously. My iMessages/texts are just sitting in texting purgatory. Something on their end is blocking them from receiving. Also when we are messaging he can't see when I am typing. It's very strange!

it sounds like there has been all kinds of iMessage issues with iOS 9.1. http://appletoolbox.com/2015/10/how-to-fix-messages-and-imessage-problems-in-ios -9/

I still havent figured out what's going on with my situation, but I know my friend isnt gettting my iMessages or texts: To send as SMS just hold your finger down on the imessage and a message will pop up giving you the option to send as SMS text message. It should turn green after you do that.

Oh goodness!

Same thing is happening to me!

But I can call the person but none of my texts or imessages go through!

Eeeep, unsure of what to do at this point.

Was there any fix to your issues?

Let me know!

Wow.....we have 3 iphones....2- iPhone 6 and 1 IPhone 6 plus.....none can facetime or imessage between them now...also hit or miss with other contacts using iPhone.....imessages turn green and say sent as SMS text...but those are not received either.. Our carrier is Sprint....iMessages also non longer show delivered or read. Reset network settings...still nothing....can you help?

I Had this problem before. It turns out that i had blocked the person and didnt remember It. I could still call them but my messages didnt go through or showed "delivered" when they were sent. Just go to contacts, open the contact and at the bottom see if the person is blocked. Select "un-block caller" and you should be good. I hope this helps you!

Somehow I had a bunch of people blocked that i have no clue how it happened but that fixed my problem. Scroll to the bottom of your blocked list and I will bet that person is on the list
