iMessage issues..the last three nights around the same I have had trouble sending iMessages to my partner.It appears to send on my phone but doesn’t say delivered so there is some kind of issue obviously.But and yes I know it sounds paranoid but seeing that it’s around the same time of evening,I question whether my partner has been blocking my number (we don’t live together atm) and then unblocking and that’s when my iMessages get delivered all of a sudden.
I’ve googled what could be the issue and all I basically got was the whole blocking the number etc.Curious if any other iPhone users with Optus have had this issue or thoughts about my partner being up to no go and hence the apparent blocking then unblocking if that’s the case.
Yes I did ask him and he said no he hasn’t blocked or put my number on do not disturb and doesn’t know why it would be happening all of a sudden.Seems abit sus to have this issue all of a sudden around the same time...

He is 100% blocking you, or his phone is out of service at the time you send a message.
I have been blocked before through iMessage and it just sits there In blue and doesn’t send as delivered, if long enough it’ll eventually go through as a text message. This can also happen if the person has no service at all to receive the message.
I and this person are both with Optus, never had ANY issues.
Does he have settings not to receive messages at certain times? I do. Stops the mother in law waking me up because she doesn't think about when we go to bed
Send messages at a different time.
What is the phone signal like in the area he lives. Whilst I have perfect reception from home, only 2 streets away and it is very poor even home phones get poor signal.
I can stand in one corner of my bedroom and my phone drops out.
Ring him?
I feel like there's more underlying trust issues within your relationship if something that could be as simple as a technical issue invokes this much suspicion.
You asked him and he answered you. Why don't you believe him?
Has he ever given you a reason to doubt him?
Is he usually honest and upfront with you?
Does he have a history of infidelity?
What's your relationship like aside from this issue?
I'm with Optus (well, Virgin but they use Optus) also and it's been happening more and more to me lately! At all different times of day but more frequently of late. I know my hubby 100% isn't blocking my number though as he is at work when I send messages and he replies immediately, they just get sent as a text instead (green coloured) and then a few mins later go through as an iMessage so he gets the text twice.
Can you call or message at a different time? There are underlying issues with this relationship if an undelivered message (or a couple) is causing this much grief. Address whatever is going on and dont let if fester.
My experience when blocked on iMessage they tend to go through as a text and never deliver as iMessage. You can also call the number and if blocked it won’t ring but go straight to voice mail.
You can turn iMessages off or out your phone into aeroplane mode. Sounds like someone is trying to fly under the radar and make it so no one else can see the messages pop up on his phone.

Him a visit at that same time he isn’t getting your messages. He’s obviously doing it for a reason.! Go with your gut.!
