On an Android First, open your Messages app and navigate to the settings. Depending on your phone model, operating system, and cellular provider, you will notice one of the following: Read Receipts, Send Read Receipts or Request Receipt.
The recipient may have turned read receipts off if you don't see the 'Seen' text or the eye icon. Try sending the person a DM. If they respond and you never saw the 'Seen' feedback, they've turned their read receipts off.
Apple's iMessage app lets you know if your message has been read; the sender and recipient must be using iMessages on an iPhone or iPad and have read receipts enabled.
Some people don't have receipts enabled, and it's usually pretty easy to tell. If you send messages to them and they respond to you, but there is still no read receipt, odds are good that their read receipts are disabled. With Community, there are typically not regular read receipts that go along with text messages.
For Android devices – Go to the Messages app and look for the checkmark icon beside the message. It indicates that your message has been sent and received by its recipient. SMS Marketing platforms – If you use a third-party application for SMS marketing, there will be an option to check the status of each sent message.
Does “delivered” mean my text message has been seen by the intended recipient? Not necessarily. It means the message has reached their phone. They may or may not have seen it.
Send them an SMS message
When you send them an SMS and you get the "Delivered" notification underneath it, you weren't blocked. If you get a notification like "Message Not Delivered" or you get no notification at all, that's a sign of a potential block.
It does NOT mean the recipient has opened it, merely that it was delivered. If you are sending to device on another carrier, you won't see "delivered" since it's another network, and Verizon can't see if it was successfully delivered to the device.
The recipient blocked your phone number
If the recipient blocks your phone number from contacting them, your message won't be delivered. If you don't see a 'Delivered' or 'Read' notification, this is a likely explanation.
A green text message on your iPhone isn't a sign that your phone number was blocked, or that the text was not delivered. Instead, it means that the message was sent as a standard SMS message rather than an iMessage, which will appear as blue.
A hollow checkmark indicates that your message has been sent, and two hollow checkmarks mean that it has been successfully delivered. Upon the recipient seeing your text, the checkmarks turn into a filled icon.
Save this answer. Show activity on this post. Read receipts are only sent by your phone when you have them on. If the other person has them on, you will continue to get receipts from them, but they will not get anything from you.
If someone you're chatting with has turned off read receipts, send them a voice note. Even a one second one will do. If they open it, the ticks will turn blue. While the hack definitely works on Android phones, it's a bit pesky.
If you turn read receipts off, the senders will not know if you opened their messages. Also, with read receipts off, you cannot know if the recipients opened your messages. So read receipts are a kind of trade-off.

Actually, iMessage not saying “Delivered” simply means the messages have not yet been successfully delivered to the recipient's device due to some reasons. Reasons could be: WiFi not working on iPhone/iPad or the iDevice don't have cellular data networks, they have their iPhone off or on Do Not Disturb mode, etc.
If you see the dreaded red exclamation mark and the message "Not Delivered" under a message, the most common cause is a simple lack of internet access.
"Delivered" means the message has been successfully received by the person's iPhone, but not necessarily that it has been opened. If Read Receipts are on, it will show the time the message was read. If Read Receipts are off, it will say "Delivered" regardless if they have read it or not.
If an Android user has blocked you, Lavelle says, “your text messages will go through as usual; they just won't be delivered to the Android user.” It's the same as an iPhone, but without the “delivered” notification (or lack thereof) to clue you in.
If you make a call and receive an automated message along the lines of “the customer is unavailable,” that person's wireless carrier may have blocked you. The messages can vary, but the result is the same. Your call won't go through.
Unfortunately, no. If a text message is blocked by the recipient's Android phone, the sender will not see a "delivered" status on the message.

If you send a message to someone and the message is not delivered, meaning that only an unfilled check mark icon appears, it generally means one of two things: The user has not logged into Facebook. The user has blocked you on Messenger.
DELIVERED = confirmation the message has reached the recipient's phone but fails to show if it has been "seen" yet. "Delivered" is a good sign. It means that the text is ready and waiting for them to open it.
Does two grey ticks mean you're blocked? Two grey ticks actually means you're not blocked! It means your message has been sent and delivered to your contact's WhatsApp client, they just haven't read it yet. If you've been blocked, you'd only see one grey tick.
