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

When an iMessage doesn't say "Delivered" (or "Read"), it can indicate several possibilities:

• The recipient's device is turned off or has no network connection. This is the most common reason. If their phone is off, in airplane mode, or without a Wi-Fi or cellular data connection, the iMessage can't be delivered until a connection is established.

• The recipient has iMessage turned off. If they disable iMessage in their settings, messages will be sent as SMS/MMS texts instead, and you won't see "Delivered" confirmations for those.

• You are not connected to the internet: It is important to make sure that you have a proper <a href="https://www.wikiwhat.page/kavramlar/internet%20connection">internet connection</a> to send and see if a message is delivered.

• The recipient has blocked your number. If someone has blocked you, your messages won't be delivered, and you won't receive any delivery notifications.

• There might be a problem with Apple's servers. Although rare, sometimes Apple's iMessage servers experience issues that can prevent messages from being delivered or showing delivery confirmations.

• The recipient hasn't enabled "Send Read Receipts". If this setting is off, you won't see "Read" confirmations even if the message has been opened, but you should still see "Delivered" if it reached their device. However, this would not cause "Delivered" to not appear. <a href="https://www.wikiwhat.page/kavramlar/send%20read%20receipts">Send Read Receipts</a> would just not be active in this scenario.

• The recipient is not using an Apple Device. If the recipient switches to an Android device, then iMessage will switch to SMS, not allowing the delivered messages to show.
