Hello Livvyloo,
Thank you for the details of the issue you are experiencing with iMessage.  I recommend the following steps for the issue you described:
To resolve issues with sending and receiving iMessages, follow these steps first
Check iMessage system status for current service issues.
Go to Settings > Messages > Send & Receive and make sure that you have registered iMessage with your phone number or Apple ID and that you have selected iMessage for use. Learn more abouttroubleshooting iMessage registration if the phone number or Apple ID isn't available for use.
Open Safari and navigate to www.apple.com to verify data connectivity. Learn more about troubleshootingcellular data or a Wi-Fi connection if a data connection isn't available.
iMessage over cellular data might not be available while on a call. Only 3G and faster GSM networks support simultaneous data and voice calls. Learn more about which network your phone supports. Go to Settings > Wi-Fi and turn Wi-Fi on to use iMessage while on a call if your network doesn't support simultaneous data and voice calls.
Restart your device.
Tap Settings > General > Reset > Reset Network Settings on your iPhone.
If you are still unable to send or receive an iMessage, follow these steps
Make sure that the contact trying to message you isn't blocked in Settings > Messages > Blocked.
Verify that the contact you are attempting to send a message to is registered with iMessage.
If the issue occurs with a specific contact or contacts, back up orforward important messages and delete your current messaging threads with the contact. Create a new message to the contact and try again.
If the issue occurs with a specific contact or contacts, delete and re-create the contact in the Contacts application. Create a new message to the newly created contact and try again.
Back up and restore your device as new.

  • My imessages wont send to one person

    i got the ios7 update when it came out, but two days i was texting this one contact in my phone and my imessages wont send it says in red letters not delivered. i have been imessaging this person for over a year and ive never had this problem.
    when i imessage other people it works.
    the person i am imessaging says he has the same problem when he imessages me. i have tryed turning off imessage reset network and turning off my phone and it still wont work, its been happeningfor 2 days now. please help

    This has never happened to me.  However, perhaps you're not following the right sequence of actions.  There are several ways to do this.  Here's one:
    1) Open up the phone application on your iPhone (it's the green icon at the bottom with the symbol of a phone), and select the person in the book you want to send the message to.
    2) Tap on the cloud symbol to the right of their cell phone number.  That brings up a screen with a "To" box at the top of the screen with the person's name.  Below is a blank field and below that a "Text Message" window.
    3) Tap your finger inside that "text message" window; make sure that now the blinking blue vertical line is inside the "Text Message" window. 
    4) Then type in your text message and when you're done tap on "Send" at the right.
    Hopefully this will work for you!!!

  • Sending texts; will send to one person, not two or more

    Just switched messaging client from "Messages" to ATT messaging client. I can receive texts okay, and can send okay... except to just one person. When I add a second name (or more), I get a message that says, "Delivery failed. Tap and hold to resend". When I do that, it sort of freezes... the little wheel just keeps spinning with no end. I have to delete the message.What's up?

  • TS2755 I have a new iPhone 5 from T-Mobile. I can send simple texts just fine. However, I have to turn off wi-if and enabler cellular to send texts to more than one person or to attach a picture. Is there a way around this?

    I have a new iPhone 5 from T-Mobile. I can send simple texts just fine. However, I have to turn off wi-if and enabler cellular to send texts to more than one person or to attach a picture. Is there a way around this?

    First thing to try is to reset your device. Press and hold the Home and Sleep buttons simultaneously ignoring the red slider should one appear until the Apple logo appears. Let go of the buttons and let the device restart. See if that fixes your problem.

  • I can send, but I can't receive texts messages from just one person

    I can send,  but I can't receive texts messages from just one person.....thanks

        Hello railenemarie16, let's solve this mystery together! Have you tried deleting your contact from her device and then re-adding? Also, have her send you a message manually instead of from the saved contact. Did you have an iPhone previously before the Note 3 and used iMessage? Keep us posted!

  • Send group message as iMessage and text

    Is there a way to send a group message as both iMessage and text message? When texting two people, one with iPhone and one without, the person without doesn't get the message. The person who doesn't have an iphone used to and now when I try I send her an individual text, my iphone tries to send it as an iMessage. It will usually fixes it and sends it as a text. Could this be why the group messages aren't going through?

    The quick fix is to delete the conversation and start again but then you lose any history.
    Here's how to fix it without losing the conversation history:
    Start a new conversation with the people from the conversation Apple broke.
    Add yourself as a recipient too.
    Send a message to the conversation.
    You will see your sent message.
    You will then "receive" a group iMessage. This shows up as another conversation to the one you just sent the message to.
    To stop future messages from yourself also being sent to yourself, you can now "leave" the group conversation you started.
    Then just reply as normal to the conversation you "received" in step 5.
    After a while iOS will actually merge the new conversation with the old conversation you were trying to save. I'm not sure what triggers it to do that.

  • I just updated to 5.0.1 now texts wont send messages and my phone is slow, how do I fix this. Annoying as ****!!!

    I updated which I had been avoiding and now my texts wont send, pictures on the text window will not send and my phone is horribly slow. Is there a way to go back to the other operating system?

    Can't go back to other OS. Is this iMessaging or SMS causing the problem?

  • Help imessages and texts will say delivery failed since current update on my 5s.

    I have iOS8.1currently on my phone and software is up to date.  I have an  iphone 5s The last few weeks randomly both imessages and text messages will not go through. It will say "delivery failed". Sometimes that is the case and other times the message apparently goes through because I get a reply from the person at the other end of the message. The frequency this keeps happening is getting worse by the minute!!   Please help

    Hi Raquel2178,
    It seems you are unable to send or receive sms messages or use the iMessage service. That does sound troublesome. The following article may help you resolve this issue:
    Restart your device and check for updates
    Restart your device.
    Check for a carrier settings update.
    Check for an iOS software update.
    Contact your carrier
    If you can't send or receive SMS or MMS messages, contact your carrier to check your text messaging plan.

  • When texting with more than one person at a time the incoming text scrolls to top of the conversation. anyone out there with the same issue?

    while texting with more than one person at a time the incoming texts scrolls to top of conversation. anyone having this issue?

    I've heard claims it can be done, claims some have done it, and claims that it didn't work for them. This thread is interesting, some indications it should be possible, complaints that it didn't, and also an interesting work-around:
    "How do I text message multiple people at once?"

    You can ask Apple for iPhone changes via this link:
    http://www.apple.com/feedback/iphone.html
    Though if you're requesting hardware changes for iPhone v2 you may want to wait a week (or a month?)...they're probably going to be inundated right now by requests for software changes to the current iPhone.

  • I am getting a "not delivered" when I try to send a photo from my Ipad or iPhone via iMessage. I can receive photos in iMessage and I can send and receive photos other than with iMessage. I have tried restoring factory settings etc but no luck.

    I am getting a "not delivered" when I try to send a photo from my Ipad or iPhone via iMessage. I can receive photos in iMessage and I can send and receive photos other than with iMessage. I have tried restoring factory settings etc but no luck. Is anyone else having this problem please?

    I've been having this problem too, but here's the catch: originally it was only with my dad, and only sometimes.  Now it's dad and husband, every time!  Pix go through, via imessage, to everyone else, and they go through to dad/husband if I "send as text" after it fails. 
    And the other annoying thing- the blue bar will run all the way, and it will say "delivered".  So I close out of imessage. When I reopen it again, the "delivered" has changed to "not delivered" with the red exclamation point.  I just googled "imessage not sending photos" and founds TONS of people with the same problem, but no solutions.  (I have rebooted phone, reset network settings, with no luck.  I even had to backup/delete/restore my whole phone the other day for a different reason, and hoped that would fix it, but now it won't send to my dad OR my husband (who is on not just the same carrier, but the same family plan as me)

    Hi Bowlover526.  I had a similar problem and was able to solve the issue by changing the Date & Time setting to set automatically.
    From the Home screen, choose Settings→General→Date & Time.
    Turn the Set Automatically option to On
    Then try to log in to iMessage or Facetime. Hopefully, this will solve your issue.  Best of luck!!

    My phone has been smashed I need to get records of all my iMessages and texts from the last month. How do I get these?

    Do you have a backup of your iPhone which contains these messages?
    If so, you can restore a new iPhone from that backup during setup.
    If not, the messages are gone.

  • HT1766 how do i print or save my imessages and text messages from my phone?

    how do i print or save my imessages and text messages from my iphone?

    When viewing the SMS messages, hit edit. You then have the opportunity to select whatever messages are needed. Forward these to your email or wherever you wish. You then have a text transcript in the body of an email that you can cut/copy/paste into Pages/Word/etc. for printing.
