Why is there no option to resend a text message?

I know I can hold down the message and press forward but why not have a resend option?

I understand that Blackberry cannot support iOS anything. I am curious why at one point in the near past the ipod could text any phone via the built in messaging app and since more recent updates it cannot. Why go backwards with technology? I was under the impression that imessage was free because it sent your messages via WiFi, in which an ipod should have the same capabilities to send SMS as the iphone does?

  • Why does my Iphone 4 randomly resend old text messages?

    My carrier is Verizon but from what I have read on the Internet it is apparently an Apple issue not a carrier issue. It is really embarrassing when people text me all confused because I sent them a random text message.

    I'm having the same issue, I just changed offices and the service in here is typically not 3G, and 1-3 bars.  Sometimes iMessages drops out sometimes it is fine, sometimes an SMS won't go through and I have to manual resend it, but recently I have been getting texts from friends telling me that I am resending texts from days ago. 
    I'm not sure, but I think when I try to resend a failed message, somehow it is trying to resend all past failed messages or something.
    Anyone else having this issue?

  • Why is there no option to "hide sensitive notifications" on my phone?

    Why is there no option to "hide sensitive notifications" on my phone? (LG G3) I just updated to Lollipop, and it now it shows all my emails and texts on the lock screen which is not cool. When I tried to search for a fix, I found that you need to choose "hide sensitive notifications" under the "Sound and Notification" settings, but that option is nowhere to be found. Help!

    I have figured it out. It's really dumb. So you need to set the locking mechanism (pattern, code, whatever). Then go to Settings>Sound and Notification>Lock Screen> Show All Notifications. Then when you go to Settings>Sound and Notification>Apps and pick something like "messages", the "sensitive" option appears.
    So essentially if you choose the "Hide Sensitive Only" it seems to think that all are sensitive and you can't pick and choose. But if you "Show All", it will let you decide what is sensitive. Very complicated.

  • HT2534 why is there no option of "none" when signing up in iTunes for the billing part

    why is there no option as "none" for the billing account in iphone5?

    If you only want the free apps, take a look here:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2534
    Read the steps carefully as the order in which you follow them is  critical. Note that you can do this only when creating a new Apple ID. You cannot use an existing ID. 
    You will of course not be able to get anything other than the free apps without entering in some sort of payment method (credit card, prepaid iTunes card, gift certificate, etc.)

    Hello,
    We are aware if the 'black box' issue with the shim installer (downloaded from get.adobe.com/flashplayer), however, this should not be the case with the full installer.  The links for the full installers are posted at the bottom of the Installation problems | Flash Player | Windows page, in the 'Still having problems' section.

  • How do I Resend a Text message?

    Very basic question!! How do I resend a text message?

    My nose must be crooked
    I am a newbie to the iPhone having just bought a 3GS, but when I select 'edit' on a message I only have the option to delete or forward. So, how do you resend? Maybe its something to do with the carrier update - what is that?

  • Have option to turn off text message pop up window.

    I would like to see the IPhone enhanced to allow the option to turn the text message pop up window on or off.
    There are times when I don't want my text message to pop up for privacy reasons; such as if someone else is using my phone or I have my phone out and people sitting nearby and can read the message. Since the ring tone is so poor on the phone, when I am out I have to put my phone on the table so I can hear it ring.
    With the text message pop up window turned off, I would still like to hear the alert sound (separate feature) and have the number display by SMS box as it currently does.
    This is a very important privacy issue and I appreciate Apple's consideration on this very important enhancement. I called Apple Customer Support and they told me to post my request here for consideration.

    Tell Apple. We are iphone users like you.

  • TS2755 Is there a way to retrieve deleted text messages on the iphone 4S?

    I've read messages aren't truly deleted. Is there a way to get back text messages that were accidentally deleted?

    If you have a backup of the phone with the messages on there, you can restore to that backup. Understand however, that anything done on the device since that backup will be lost.

  • I used to have a IPhone3 about three years ago, unfortunately i do not have it anymore. My question is is there a way to obtain deleted text messages from my phone number from a short period of time before i got rid of my phone?

    About three years ago in 1012 I had an iphone3 sent and deleted text messages of course and as of now those text messages are needed for an upcoming court case i will be involved with. So is there any way to retrieve those text messages from three years ago. I am just in need of the text messages from February 2012 on. So its about 6 to 10 months of texts. what do I have to do to get them back if possible???

    As the others noted, if you don't have any older iTunes backups then the deleted messages would not be recoverable. The free trial of Decipher TextMessage will show you if there are any text messages in your older backups that can be recovered.
