    Hi Naing, If you're trying to send an iMessage to another iPhone user, make sure both you and the recipient have iMessage enabled in your iPhone's settings. If only one of you has iMessage enabled, you won't be able to send/receive iMessages. If you have iMessage enabled and your friend does not, your messages won't be delivered properly.

    Hi Nancy, This issue could be caused by poor Internet connection, or one person not having iMessage enabled properly. If both of you have a strong Internet connection and have iMessage enabled and are still having issues, here are two things we suggest trying: On both devices: 1. Turn iMessage off, wait a few minutes, then turn it back on again. 2. After disabling then re-enabling iMessage, power the device off, wait a minute, then turn it back on. This should solve your problem. If it doesn't you may need to get in touch with Apple for further assistance.

    Hi Ed, You don't have to add fun extras to your messages if you don't want to. Simply type in what you'd like your message to say, and send it off! If you're wanting to send an SMS message instead of using iMessage, disable iMessage in your device's settings.
