Question

My message does not say delivered and has a green background. What does this mean?

Community Answer

This is because the receiver is using an Android device.

Question

If your text does not say delivered, does that mean it did not go?

Community Answer

No. If “Delivered” does not show below your message, it means that the person you are contacting has not seen it yet. Another solution that should be helpful is to check the top of the screen for either “Sending” or “Sending 1 of ...”.

Question

If it "says sent as a text message" does that mean they blocked you?

Community Answer

No, that means they're on an Android phone most likely. It's also possible that they have iMessage's data disabled, so they receive SMS messages instead of iMessages.

Question

I texted another iPhone user and it normally says delivered and is a blue message. Today it is green and says sent as a text message. Did the other person get my text?

Fancyghost

Community Answer

Yes, they got your text. It was just delivered in a slightly different method, due to circumstances outside either of your control.
