My text messages aren't saying delivered or that they have read them

I have gone into my settings and made sure the send read recieve is on. the imessage is on. Two days ago it would allow me to see when people were texting me back and when it was read and delivered. I don't remember changing anything so what could be the issue?

Thank you to the community for you replies.
Hello Joesgrille
It can be very frustrating when people don't receive your messages. Let's look into this and get this fixed immediately.
Was this a one time event or is it an on going problem? What type of device do you have? Do you have a signature on your device or the person that you are replying to? A signature could be "sent from Joe's phone" or a smiley face or symbols. If so please remove and retest. Have you tried SuzyQ suggestions?
Please delete all old text messages and retry. Please let me know if you are still experiencing this issue and we will further troubleshoot with you.
Thank you

  • How can I back up my text messages to my PC computer so that I can read them or print them?

    I have been trying to backup my text messages so that they are in a readable format on my computer so that I can read them or print them. I have a number of pictures that have been sent and some important conversations I need to save; however, they are taking up a lot of memory on my phone and I would like to delete them, but still have access to them on the computer. I downloaded a free program called Appandora, but it locked up every time it started to save the second text message thread. The one that it did save was in a .txt file and was very difficult to read. I do understand that the texts are backed up when the phone is backed up, but I want them in a readable accessible file. I would appreciate any help anyone could give me. Thanks.

    Hi Maria,
    I am one of the developers for the program Decipher TextMessage, which will help you back up your text messages to your computer. You can read the texts right in the program in a format similar to the phone itself (with the little chat bubbles,) and you can export the messages into a file with that formatting as well. You can download the free trial from our website: http://deciphertools.com/
    If you have any questions, you can followup here, or you can contact me directly through the support page on our website linked above (feel free to mention my name, Kelly, explicitly )
    (Note: As I mentioned, I work for the company being linked-to above, so I stand to benefit from the links I am posting.)

  • HT3529 How can I retrieve a train of text messages back to October 1, 2013, that I deleted?

    How can I retrieve a train of text messages back to October 1, 2013, that I have deleted?

    For text messages that were transmitted through your cellular connection, you must contact your wireless carrier.  For iMessage texts that you have deleted, your decision at that time was final.

  • My text messages are not being delivered

    MY text messages are not being delivered. Keep coming back with the red saying "Not Delivered". Anyone know why this all of a sudden started happening and how to fix it?

    Thank You Meg St._Clair contacted my carrier and fixed the problem on my iPhone 6 but still an issue on my iPad mini  
    Carrier could not fix the problem so said I would have to plug my iPad into my Mac and back it up and then restore factory settings        
    Havent done any of that yet!

  • Is there any way to tell to whom a group text message has actually been delivered.

    How can you tell to whom a group text message has actually been delivered?

    I use Verizon's Messages+ app; when I send a group text, then long press the message, I get a menu and one of the selections is Message info.  That will show me the contacts I sent the message to.  It doesn't always tell me who got it though - for example, I recently sent a group message to my four kids.  The status shows:
    Child 1 - Delivered (On Verizon, separate plan/account)
    Child 2 - Delivered (On my More Everything plan)
    Child 3 - Delivered (On AT & T)
    Child 4 - Sent (On T-Mobile)
    I got replies from Child 1, 3, 4 - and all the replies all were sent to all in the group.  So I know Child 4 got the message and replied to the group, even though it doesn't say delivered.
    I guess if it says "Sent" or "Delivered" you can assume it was delivered to the recipients phone.  If it did not get sent, it will say it failed to send or something.  Whether the recipient has READ it or not can't be determined, unless, of course, they reply. In that case you know they got it and read it. 

  • I have purchased my first smart phone. iphone 5. I want to use sounds sent to me in text messages as ringtones but don't know how to move them over. Any help would be appreciated.

    I have purchased my first smart phone, an iphone 5.  I would like to use some of the sounds from text messages for ringtones but don't know how to move them over.   Any help would be appericated.

    I'm sorry, had you already pointed out the rules which stated that lines from 2 separate accounts were eligible??? I don't see anywhere in the advertisement specifically stating that lines from 2 separate accounts would be eligible, so THAT is not what's advertised, either.
    As far as I know Verizon's BOGO offers have ALWAYS been for lines on the same account. Possibly someone could chime in where they have received this offer on 2 separate accounts? The ONLY exception to this was someone getting the offer with 2 eligible lines on their account, reactivating the old phone on one of the lines and then giving one of the new phones to someone on another account.
    Sorry if you think simply because someone disagrees with you, they are being condescending. That is certainly not the case. Good luck.

  • In syncing my itunes to my iphone, the process deleted my contacts and text messages as well as pictures.  Any way to retrieve them?

    In the process of syncing my itunes library to my iphone, my contacts, text messages and pictures were deleted.  Any way to retrieve them?

    Problem solved unchecked back up to icloud and backed up to my computer, which then allowed me to untick the songs that were physically on my iphone (when iphone connected to computer) that I didn't want. Synced again and voila!!! Only files I want are now on my iphone . This has been bugging me for weeks, determination certainly paid off. Sometimes I think having problems is a good thing, you learn heaps trying to solve an issue

  • I am receiving text messages from a changing, partial number. how to I stop them? I have an iphone 5 with ios 8.3

    I am receiving text messages from a changing, partial number. how to I stop them? I have an iphone 5 with ios 8.3 and use AT&T. I tried to forward them to AT&T but there is no way I could find to put the [email protected] into the To: field

    Sign out of iMessage on the iPad.  If you are using the same AppleID on both devices for iMessage, that is expected behavior.

  • Why can't I "load earlier messages" via Text Message since the OS 5 upgrade?  They will not load!

    why can't I "load earlier messages" via Text Message since the OS 5 upgrade?  They will not load! Nor can I forward them to my email like I used to be able to do prior to the OS upgrade.  Please advise.

    "Why can't I load iOS 4.3.5 onto my older (2nd gen?) iPod touch? "
    Beacuse it does not support the new software.  2nd gen can only go to 4.2.1

    If you have a second gen, then you should be able to get 4.2.1.  What computer OS do you have?  What version of Itunes?

  • How can I turn off the option in my message settings so that others can not tell that I have read there texts? Please HELP

  • Messages doesn't reflect that I have read specific messages

    I use Messages for texts and iMessages on my MacBook Pro (late 2013).  For some reason, my iPhone indicates that I have read all messages, but in Yosemite it reads two unread messages.  When two finger clicking (right button) on the icon, a menu indicates what message is the cause, but reading it or deleting it does not zero out my notification.
    Any suggestions on how to get it to indicate read?  I appreciate any help.

    Please sign out of all the messaging services you use and sign back in. If there's no change, quit Messages and then log out or restart the computer.

  • HT201269 I downloaded the iOS7, lost all the custom ring tones that I had on my phone, how do i get them back.  when I sync my phone, itunes says that they have been selected, but they don't show up on my phone

    I downloaded the iOS7, lost all the custom ring tones that I had on my phone.  the iTunes sync page says that they have all been selected but they don't show up in my phone? Help?

    I had the same problem and was able to fix it. Go to your iTunes and click on the Tones folder on the left under library. Some of my ring tones had an exclamation mark next to it and those were the ones that did not sync. You have to click on those and find it in your computer. Once the exclamation mark is gone, go to Tones section of your device in iTunes, make sure you select the tones you want synced, and click apply. I hope that helps you!
