What is what does it mean when an imessage doesn't say delivered?

When an iMessage doesn't say "Delivered" under the message bubble, it typically means that the message hasn't successfully reached the recipient's device. Here's a breakdown of the potential reasons:

• Recipient's device is off or has no network connection: The most common reason is that the recipient's iPhone, iPad, or Mac is switched off, in airplane mode, or doesn't have a working Wi-Fi or cellular data connection. Until their device connects to the internet, the message won't be delivered.

• Recipient has disabled iMessage: If the recipient has turned off <a href="https://www.wikiwhat.page/kavramlar/imessage">iMessage</a> in their settings (Settings > Messages > iMessage), your messages will be sent as SMS texts instead (if you have "Send as SMS" enabled in your iMessage settings). You'll then see a green text bubble instead of a blue one.

• Recipient is not signed into iMessage: The recipient may not be signed in to their <a href="https://www.wikiwhat.page/kavramlar/apple%20id">Apple ID</a> on their device, preventing iMessage from working correctly.

• Recipient has blocked you: If the recipient has <a href="https://www.wikiwhat.page/kavramlar/blocked%20you">blocked you</a>, your iMessages will not be delivered, and you won't receive a "Delivered" notification. However, iOS usually won't explicitly tell you that you've been blocked; it will simply appear as though the message hasn't been delivered.

• iMessage server issues: While rare, there could be temporary issues with Apple's <a href="https://www.wikiwhat.page/kavramlar/imessage%20servers">iMessage servers</a>, preventing messages from being delivered.

• Recipient's device is experiencing issues: The recipient's device might be having problems receiving iMessages, even if it is connected to the internet. Restarting their device can sometimes resolve this.

• "Send as SMS" is disabled: If you don't have the "Send as SMS" feature enabled on your device, and iMessage fails to deliver, the message will simply remain unsent without reverting to SMS.

• Incorrect Date & Time Settings: Incorrect <a href="https://www.wikiwhat.page/kavramlar/date%20and%20time%20settings">date and time settings</a> on either your device or the recipient's can sometimes interfere with iMessage delivery.
