Iphone no messages sending

Send a group text message on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch

Stay connected to the conversations that matter the most. Learn how to start a group text message with your friends, family, and coworkers.

• Make sure that your device has the latest version of iOS or iPadOS.
• If you’re using an Apple device that’s not an iPhone, make sure that you’re signed in to iMessage with your Apple ID.

Types of group text messages

There are three types of group messages that you might see: group iMessage, group MMS, and group SMS. The Messages app automatically chooses the type of group message to send based on settings, network connection, and carrier plan. For example:

• If you and your recipients are using Apple devices and iMessage is turned on, then the group message is sent as an iMessage.
• If you send a group message to people who aren’t using iMessage, then the message is sent as an MMS or SMS message.

Group iMessage

These messages appear in blue text bubbles. They go through Apple instead of your carrier, and are protected by end-to-end encryption. In a group iMessage, everyone can:

• Send and receive photos, videos, and audio messages
• See all responses from the group
• Send and receive message effects, like sketches, animations, bubble effects, and more
• Share their location with the group
• Give the group a name, add or remove people from the group, mute notifications, or leave the group

Group MMS

These messages appear in green text bubbles and go through your carrier instead of Apple. In a group MMS, everyone can:

• Send and receive photos and videos
• See all responses from the group
• Mute notifications

Group SMS

These messages also appear in green text bubbles and go through your carrier. Group SMS messages don’t support multimedia attachments, like photos or videos. All responses in a group SMS are sent as individual text messages and the recipients can’t see the other responses from the group.

Learn how to foward SMS/MMS text messages across your devices, like from an iPad to a Mac.

Send a group text message

1. Open Messages and tap the Compose button .
2. Enter the names or tap the Add button to add people from your contacts.
3. Type your message, then tap the Send button .

To send a group MMS message on an iPhone, make sure MMS Messaging is turned on. Go to Settings > Messages and turn on MMS Messaging. If you don’t see an option to turn on MMS Messaging or Group Messaging, contact your carrier to see if your plan supports Group MMS Messaging.

With iOS 15 and iPadOS 15, photos, links, and other content that are sent within the group message will appear in the Shared with You section of the corresponding content apps. If you don’t want to see the photos and other content in Shared with You, go to the group message, tap the top of the thread, then turn off Show in Shared with You.

If you can’t send email on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch

If you can’t send email from the Mail app on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch, there are a few things you can try.

Before you begin

There are a few things to keep in mind and check:

• When you make an iOS or iPadOS backup in iCloud or iTunes, it backs up your mail settings, but not your email. If you delete or change your email account settings, previously downloaded email might be removed from your device.
• Make sure that your device is connected to the internet.
• Check with your email service provider to find out if there’s a service outage.
• If you can’t access your email, or you can’t send and receive messages with your @icloud.com email address, learn what to do.

Check the Outbox for unsent email

If you get a message that says your email wasn’t sent, then that email goes to your Outbox. Check your Outbox and try to send the email again with these steps:

1. In Mail, go to your list of mailboxes.
2. Tap Outbox. If you don’t see an Outbox, then your email was sent.
   
3. Tap an email in the Outbox. Make sure that the recipient’s email address is correct.
4. Tap Send.

Check your email address and password

If Mail asks you to enter a password for your email account, make sure that your password is correct. To check your email address and password, sign in to your email provider’s website.

If you still get a user name or password error, contact your email provider or system administrator.

Contact your email provider or system administrator

1. Contact your email provider or check their status webpage to see if there’s a service outage.
2. Ask your email provider or system administrator if you turned on any security features or restrictions, like two-step verification, for your email account. You might need a special password or might need to request authorization from your email provider to send and receive email on your device.
3. Check your email account settings with your email provider or system administrator to make sure that they’re correct.

Remove your email account and set it up again

1. On your computer, sign in to your email provider’s website. Make sure that all of your email is there or make sure that your email is saved somewhere other than on your iOS or iPadOS device.
2. On your device, go to Settings > Mail, then tap Accounts.
3. Tap the email account that you want to remove.
4. Tap Delete Account.
5. Add your account again.

If the steps in this article don’t help, contact your email service provider for more information.

If you see a green message bubble

If you see a green message bubble instead of a blue one, then that message was sent using MMS/SMS instead of iMessage. There are several reasons for this:

• iMessage is turned off on your device or on your recipient’s device. To check if iMessage is turned on for your device, go to Settings > Messages > iMessage.
• iMessage is temporarily unavailable on your device or on your recipient’s device.

If you receive messages on one device but not the other

If you have an iPhone and another iOS or iPadOS device, like an iPad, your iMessage settings might be set to receive and start messages from your Apple ID instead of your phone number. To check if your phone number is set to send and receive messages, go to Settings > Messages, and tap Send & Receive.

If you don’t see your phone number, you can link your iPhone number to your Apple ID so you can send and receive iMessages from your phone number. You can also set up Text Message Forwarding so you can send and receive MMS and SMS messages on all of your Apple devices.

If you have issues with a group message

If you’re in a group message and stop receiving messages, check to see if you left the conversation. Open Messages and tap the group message. If you see a message that says you left the conversation, then either you left the conversation or you were removed from the group message. You can rejoin a group message only if someone in the group adds you.

To start a new group message:

1. Open Messages and tap the Compose button .
2. Enter the phone numbers or email addresses of your contacts.

2. Swipe left over the conversation.
3. Tap Delete.

When you delete a message, you can’t recover it. If you want to save parts of a message, take a screenshot. To save an attachment in a message, tap the Download button . The photo or image will be saved to your Library in the Photos app.
