What is what does it mean when the message doesn't say delivered?

When a message doesn't say "Delivered," it generally means the message hasn't reached the recipient's device. Here's a breakdown of the possible reasons:

  • Recipient's device is off or has no connection: The most common reason is that the recipient's phone is turned off, in airplane mode, or has no network connection (Wi-Fi or cellular data). In this case, the message remains pending on the sender's end until the recipient's device connects to the internet. (https://www.wikiwhat.page/kavramlar/No%20Connection)

  • Recipient has blocked the sender: If the recipient has blocked the sender, messages will not be delivered. The sender will often not receive a "Delivered" notification, and the message will appear to remain unsent. (https://www.wikiwhat.page/kavramlar/Blocked%20Sender)

  • App or messaging service issues: Sometimes, the problem lies with the messaging app itself (e.g., WhatsApp, iMessage, SMS) or the underlying messaging service. There might be temporary server issues or glitches preventing message delivery. (https://www.wikiwhat.page/kavramlar/Messaging%20Service%20Issues)

  • Recipient hasn't opened the app: Some messaging apps only show "Delivered" when the recipient opens the app where the message was sent, even if they have received a notification.

  • Delivery settings are disabled: In some cases, the recipient may have disabled read receipts or delivery confirmations in their app settings, preventing the sender from seeing that the message has been delivered even though it has been received.

  • Spam filtering: The recipient's messaging platform might have flagged the message as spam, preventing it from being delivered to their inbox. (https://www.wikiwhat.page/kavramlar/Spam%20Filtering)
