If your message does not say “Delivered”, check the top of your screen to see if it says “Sending…” or “Sending 1 of X”. If you see nothing listed under your last message, your message has not yet been delivered. If “Send Read Receipts” is enabled by the recipient, then it will change to “Read” once the message has actually been seen. If you see “Sent as a Text Message,” that means your message was sent using your carrier’s SMS service rather than Apple’s iMessage servers.
