What do the 3 dots mean after I send a text message on my iPhone 4?

I dont understand if the 3 dots that appear after I send a message are saying that my message is sending or if the other person is replying when they appear?

3 dots means that they are responding to your message.

  • When I send a text message from my iphone sometimes the recipient receives it twice...why does this happen.

    Why is it that when I send a text message, sometimes the recipient receives it twice. It doesn't happen every time.

    I am having this same problem. Sometimes it sends from my phone number, sometimes it sends from my gmail. Under my messages settings it says "receive messages at 2 addresses" and when I click on that I try to remove the gmail address from there but the option to delete that email address is grayed out so I can't click on it.
    I discovered this was happening because I am in a group imessage with 2 friends. They told me that for some reason the group convos were split into 2 different conversations in their message list. And we discovered it's because in one group the messages are coming from my phone number, and in the other group it is coming from my gmail address.
    I don't mind RECEIVING iMessages at both my phone number and my gmail - but I want control over which one is being used when I SEND iMessages.
    Any ideas??? Thanks in advance.

  • What is the difference between sent and delivered for a text message?

    This is my first smart phone and I am getting a notification after I send the text message that the message has been sent.  Then I get a notification that the message has been delivered.  I have requested read receipts enabled on the phone.  Do these notifications pertain to that?

    Delivered only works with someone that has Verizon. Sent means it was sent but you don't know if their phone is on or not.

  • TS4268 i have the iphone 5. I updated to iOS 7 but I had this problem before I updated the software, too. I can send MMS (text messages with pictures) but I cannot receive them. I can receive reg text msgs. Just not pics. Any ideas?

    I have iphone 5. Updated to new software a few days ago, but I was having this issue before the update and the update did not resolve the issue.
    I can send and receive regular text messages. I can send MMS (photos, videos, etc) but I CANNOT RECEIVE photos in texts. I have read several trouble shooting suggestions, but so far no resolution. Open to any and all suggestions! Thanks!

    You cannot update iPhone 4 to IOS 8.1.2, the highest you can update is IOS 7.1.2.
    Unless you've iPhone 4S (looks similar to iPhone 4)

  • I recently downloaded the 7.1 update, When I send a Text Message, It'll send then disappear. How do I fix this?

    When I was texting someone, it had just randomly started doing this. It did not happen instantaniously after I updated it. However they do appear after I restart the iphone. But then go back to doing it again

    Go to Settings>Messages>Send & Receive and do one of the following:
    Either uncheck the email address shown under "You can be reached by iMessage at" on both of your phones; or
    If you want to continue to receive iMessages at this email address on one of your devices, on the other phone tap the Apple ID at the top, sign out, then sign back in using a different Apple ID (so both phones are using a different Apple ID for iMessage).  Note: you can continue to share an Apple ID for purchasing from the iTunes and App stores.  It does not need to be the same as the ID you are using for iMessage, FaceTime and other services.

  • What is the blue dot right next to the signal bars?

    I know E means Edge. 3G is 3G network. But what is the blue dot means?
    Also what is UMTS/HSDPA? When do I know I am using that connection?
    Thanks,

    GPRS = General Packet Radio Service (could be called 2.5G)
    Also what is UMTS/HSDPA? When do I know I am using that connection?
    UTMS = Universal Telecommunications Mobile System (commonly called 3G)
    HSDPA = High speed download Packet access (commonly called 3.5G)
    Thanks,
    The Blue dot is GPRS, the E is edge while 3G is 3G and HSDPA is the highest data speed, for some reason Apple do not show an icon when this is being used, some other manufacturers indicate when 3.5G is being used.

  • Prepaid account balance notification after i send a text or when i recieve one?

    Because i have a prepaid account, after i send a text message i get a notification of my account balance and what the last transaction cost. I have att/cingular...
    My question is....Is there any possible way to turn the sound off when i get this notification?
    I've tried every possible thing i know how to do...I've turned the sound off on my phone and it still "beeps".
    I have a blackberry pearl 8100.
    Please help!!!

    Nope, no way. ATT is going to send those and I "think" they come via SMS.
    You would need to either disable your SMS notifications.
    Or maybe create an exception in the profiles so that only SMS from ATT are silent, but I don't think this is possible.

  • When I send a text message to my two children with non-smart phones, the message comes throug blank. When I send a message to them one at a time it will go through but not multiple addresses. Can this problem be fixed?

    When I send a text message on my iPhone 4s to my two children with non-smart phones, the message comes through blank. If I send it to each one individually, it will go through ok. Is this a problem with my phone or it is something I am doing wrong.

    Check your phone to make sure MMS is turned on. If it is, check with your cell provider and make sure your phone is provisioned correctly.
