FAQs

If Notifications Are Silenced Will It Say Delivered? ›

Notifications turned off on the recipient side has nothing to do with the delivered status. Delivery can be delayed by the lack of network on the delivery side or in between.

If you text the person while notifications are silenced, they'll still get your message—they just won't see a notification pop up on their screen until they've switched off the Focus Mode.

When Messages says Contact has Notifications Silenced, the person is in Do Not Disturb/Focus that disables notifications. Notifications silenced does not mean that you are blocked. Tap Notify Anyway to alert the person of your text even if their notifications are silenced.

While messages are technically received during DND, they won't generate notifications. Recipients in DND mode need to actively check their messages to see delivered content.

Silent notifications are notifications that do not make any sound or alert the user when it arrives, but it gets displayed only in the notification center/notification tray.

No, Do Not Disturb (DND) differs from Silent Mode: In Silent Mode, your phone uniformly silences calls, messages, and notifications without customisation. Conversely, DND allows personalised settings, enabling specific numbers to ring while keeping others silent.

With iOS 15 and beyond, when you have Focus mode enabled and receive a message, your phone will automatically notify the sender of the message that you have Focus mode activated. If this is the case, a moon icon next to your friend's name in the chat window will indicate that they have muted notifications.

Your device won't vibrate or make sounds when you get a call, message, or notification. You won't hear sounds from music, videos, games, or other media. During a phone call, you'll still be able to hear the other person.

When Do Not Disturb is on, a crescent moon icon appears in the status bar and on your Lock Screen.

For example, if you see a red bell icon next to that number it means that phone is on silent mode. If you see a red phone icon, it means that person is on the phone.

Why does my message not say delivered? ›

The recipient's phone might be switched off or out of service range. The recipient might have blocked your number. Or, the carrier might be experiencing technical difficulties. It's also possible that you've entered an incorrect or non-working phone number.

The Silent messaging feature lets you send messages without notifications when you don't want to disturb the recipient.

Before we dive in, it's worth mentioning that your contact won't be notified that they've been muted, and you won't get any Message notifications from that person until you unmute them.

They'll also see a button labeled Notify Anyway. If they tap this, their message will be pushed through and you'll receive a notification on your iPhone even if you have notifications silenced. This feature is meant to make it so that others can still reach you if the situation is urgent, like in case of an emergency.

Although the “delivered” status may not appear immediately if the recipient's phone is off, iMessage will continue attempting to deliver the message in the background. Once the recipient's phone is powered on and connects to the internet, iMessage will seize the opportunity to deliver the pending messages.
