iMessage's problem usually happens when the users always turn their iPhones off. Doing this will cut off all connections. This simply means that your device won't receive messages from SMS, iMessage, and other apps.

On the other hand, experts also explained that your Apple ID could play a major role in this issue. They added that if your contact has an iPhone, iPad, or Mac, the message you sent might have been delivered on their Mac or iPad, and not on their smartphone.
