Oh man, the mysterious ‘not delivered’ iMessage dilemma—classic Apple keeping us in suspense. Here’s my take: sometimes, it’s not that deep. Phones, like humans, have bad days. Yes, it might be a sign of someone blocking you, but chill for a sec before spiraling. First off, if their phone is dead or turned off? Instant no ‘delivered’ drama. And let’s not even get into poor cell service—especially if they’re stuck in a random no-signal zone like a subway or basement.
Now, if your message hasn’t turned blue and stubbornly sticks to green? That might mean they’ve switched off iMessage or their WiFi/data is out. Doesn’t always mean you’re blocked, though it does make you wonder if they’ve ghosted the iPhone community altogether—traitors.
The thing @cazadordeestrellas mentioned about Do Not Disturb? Totally legit, but let me add something—Focus modes can be sneaky. Sometimes it delays delivery notifications for ages until they feel like checking their phone. It’s not a complete message blackhole, just… delayed gratification for you.
But hey, if all your messages act shady when sent to different people too? It’s your phone throwing a tantrum, not theirs. Maybe give your WiFi router a stern talk or threaten your carrier with a switch—usually works for me. Anyway, don’t stress. It’s probs not a block. Like 80% sure. Okay, 70%. Fine, 50%.
