If the recipient’s phone is off, i. Message will not say delivered to the sender until the phone is powered back on., i Message will only go through and says delivered if the recipient has other Apple devices with i, and message enabled. For any concerns or questions, please let us know in the comment section below.
While the phone is off that message will wait on Apple’s servers. However there is a setting under Messaging which says “Send as SMS”. If you have this setting enabled then when an i. Message is not delivered your phone will cancel the original i. Message, and instead send it as an SMS (green bubble).
Do text messages still work if phone is off?
You can i. Message them when they have Wi-Fi, but your messages will continue to send if they leave that coverage, just as SMS messages instead. Will text say delivered if phone is off?
Should imessage be on?
, i Message can be quicker, free picture/video messages. Keeps group conversations, so everyone replies to everyone. And even if i. Message fails it sends it as a SMS anyway. Can’t think of any negatives. It’s always on.
What if I don’t use iMessage?
If you aren’t using i. Message, you can use SMS/MMS. These messages are texts and photos that you send to other cell phones or i, and os devices. SMS/MMS messages aren’t encrypted and appear in green text bubbles on your device.
You can use i. Message from any Apple device, or you can choose to disable i, and message instead. Turn off i. Message in the settings to stop using it. Then all your messages will send as SMS or MMS, coming out of your text messages allowance from your cell contract.
Will iMessage say delivered if phone has no service?
The most obvious reason your message won’t deliver is because the recipient has no service. , i Message relies on an internet connection, so if no Wi-Fi is available, it won’t appear until their phone gets a connection.
What happens when you send an iMessage message to someone else?
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.
These messages are always encrypted and appear in blue text bubbles. To turn i. Message on or off, go to Settings > Messages.
, i Messages only work between i. Phones (and other Apple devices such as i. Pads ). If you are using an i. Phone and you send a message to a friend on Android, it will be sent as a SMS message and will be green.
