By default, imessage will never say or show delivered if the recipient phone is switched off because imessage will be unavailable, but in some cases whereby the recipient apple ID is connected to other Apple devices, imessage will say delivered as long as it is available.
It will not. Delivered means the message is now on the recipients device. If the recipient’s is off/not connected to the internet, the i. Message will not reach their device and will not register as delivered.
Does the text message Say delivered if the iPhone is off?
No, if the iphone is off, the message will never say delivered because the phone is not active, the cellular network is not active, and the imessage is not active as well.
It may show delivered if their i. Phone is off because it can be received by their i. Pad Mac or Apple Watch. These devices can receive i. Message regardless of an i, and phone. Imessage is not dependent on an i. Phone, if the messagenis sent properly, it will be received on other devices the person has, this showing “Delivered”.
So, if the text recipient is only using their i. Phone and had no other devices setup for i. Message, like an i. Pad or Mac computer, the text will NOT show up as delivered. So in this situation, an i. Message can say delivered, but the text recipient’s i. Phone may actually just have a dead battery.
What does delivered mean on iMessage?
Delivered means the message is now on the recipients device. If the recipient’s is off/not connected to the internet, the i. Message will not reach their device and will not register as delivered.
For an i. Message to go through, the phone must be on, must have an i. Message enabled, and must have a working Wi-Fi or cellular data. If any of the listed things are missing, the imessage will never go through and it will never say delivered after sending a message because indeed the message has not been received by the recipient.
Will an iMessage go through if the other person’s phone is switched off?
Yea it just shows you that it was delivered but if his phone is switched off then he won’t even know you’re sending a message unless he has Wi. Fi like I’m doing now and i. Phones can send to each other only i, and phones.
If the other person has other devices with i. Message enabled, one of those will receive the message before the i. Phone and the sender will see the status “delivered ”. If the i. Phone is the only device, the message will only show delivered when the phone has been switched on again and it has access to the Internet.
