MacOS Sierra allows us to communicate with other Apple users, that have their ID connected to send and receive messages. That is, we have a messaging service with both the Mac and iOS devices. On our Mac, we can send messages in three different ways. First of all, from one's own message app. Second, sharing in certain applications a link or a. And finally, from notifications in the section Social . However, knowing if the message has reached its destination, we can only check it from the messages application. We show you how.
To verify this, we must look at the information that appears at the bottom of the messages sent, just below the blue speech bubble. The status can be "sent", "read on date ..." or "not sent" in red and with an exclamation point that warns us of an error. Some users retype the message, but it is not necessary.
You just have to click on the red question mark and a pop-up window will open, with the indication: "Your message could not be sent" and it gives you the possibility to "try again" to send the message. Generally, once or twice the message is pressed, it is sent and then read.
What could be happening if you can't send the message? The first thing you should check is your internet. Loading a web should be enough to verify that you have internet and therefore messages should work.
Another problem may be related to Account settings. In this case, go to preferences within the messages application. Once inside click on accounts. Check that iMessage is not inactive and that you have the "activate this account" box checked.
Finally the third, unlikely error is the system failure. Go to check if Apple systems are working in the following link.
With all this, Messages works exceptionally in most cases and is today one of the best existing messaging systems.
