The message send failed means that for one of many possible reasons you can’t iMessage that particular contact. Their phone can be turned off, no signal, etc. They can even have switched to Android and not deactivated iMessage first.
Can you tell if someone is blocking your texts?
Try sending a text message
However, if a person has blocked you, you won’t see either notification. Instead, there will just be a blank space beneath your text. It’s worth noting that being blocked is not the only reason why you might not see a notification. Some message receipts work perfectly with iOS; some don’t.
How to Fix it: Text messages not sending, Android
Check your network connection. Force stop the Messages app. Or restart your phone. Get the most up-to-date version of Messages. Clear the Messages cache. Check that the issue isn’t with just one contact. Verify that your SIM card is properly installed.
Why am I getting message send failure on my iPhone?
There are several reasons for this: The person that you sent the message to doesn’t have an Apple device. iMessage is turned off on your device or on your recipient’s device. iMessage is temporarily unavailable on your device or on your recipient’s device.
More to the point, if you’re messaging someone via iMessage and your text bubbles suddenly change to green from blue, it’s a sign they have blocked your iPhone number. The ‘sent’ versus ‘delivered’ badge may just be confirmation they’ve blocked you.
How do I know if someone blocked me on iMessage?
How to know if someone blocked you on iMessage
Check iMessage bubble color. iMessages normally appear in blue text bubbles (messages between Apple devices). Check iMessage delivery notification. Check iMessage status updates. Call the person who blocked you. Turn off caller ID and call the blocker again.
Am I blocked if iMessage doesn’t say delivered?
When the other person shifts from an iPhone to another device, say an Android but doesn’t delete their number from Apple’s iMessage servers. But if they have blocked you or shifted from iPhone, the message won’t say delivered even after a few hours or days.
If you get a notification like “Message Not Delivered” or you get no notification at all, that’s a sign of a potential block. Next, you could try calling the person. If the call goes right to voicemail or rings once (or a half ring) then goes to voicemail, that’s further evidence you may have been blocked.
