Messages not working

Hi my messages work normally for everyone apart from one contact, from which I can receive messages but not send. When I try sending a message, it shows up as sent on my phone but the contact doesn’t receive it at all.

iPhone 8 Plus, iOS 13

If a specific contact cannot receive your messages, let them try the following suggestions below.


  • Check your plan or credit balance to see that you have enough to send/receive messages
  • See if you have signal.
  • Check if you’re on airplane mode. If you are, turn it off.
  • Delete the contact and add it again.
  • Check if you blocked them.
  • Verify that their phone number is correct.
