- atonse 4y agoI’m curious about how they did this? When you try to send a text/iMessage, it fails immediately, but does the phone keep trying again? Or would they have had to put that in a delay? Just not sure how it would’ve worked. Cuz I’ve noticed I usually have to explicitly tell iMessage to resend a failed message.
