Why are sent messages on the right?
It helps you feel like you're being 'sent' a message from 'somewhere else'. Using the sides makes more sense than using the top and bottom because the bottom-up (or top-down; see Twitter) new message stream pattern is the most common (some would say natural) pattern for updating a chat log with a new message.
How can you tell if someone read your text without read receipts?
Look for the checkmarks: A single gray checkmark indicates a successfully sent message. The appearance of a second gray checkmark shows your message was delivered to the recipient's phone. The two checkmarks will turn blue if the recipient has viewed your message.
Why does a message not deliver right away?
There are a number of reasons why an SMS message might not get delivered, but some of the most common are: the recipient opted out of messages. the recipient blocked your phone number. the message contained illegal content.
Does sent as text message mean you're blocked?
You can continue to send messages to the recipient. Therefore, an iMessage sent as a text message does not immediately indicate that your number is blocked by the recipient. There are other reasons why your messages show up as green bubbles when you send them.
