I sent an iMessage to a friend, and at the bottom it doesn't say "Delivered" as it usually does. It doesn't say "Not Delivered" either, it just doesn't say anything at all.

What does it mean when an iMessage doesn't say "Delivered" neither "Not Delivered"?

I have the same problem it's not sending to one person I don't know why – user34055 Nov 3 '12 at 22:04

The receiving device is probably off, in sleep mode, out of cell reception, flat battery - something like that.

I believe "Not Delivered" implies an error of some kind, whereas if nothing is displayed that just means the message is queued up to an inactive phone, or backed-up in transit over the network.

From my understanding, when your message says delivered under it then the person received it. If the word "delivered" dont show it means they are on the phone and it will say delivered once they hang up.

When you text and it does not say delivered it means the other person is texting someone else or on the phone. Once they stop texting or hang up the phone you will see the text message has been delivered.
