IMessage doesn’t say “delivered” or “not delivered”

messages

I sent an iMessage from my iPod touch to my friends iphone on Monday. It didn't say delivered or not delivered. It was just nothing. His phone is on (I know because my other friends are iMessaging him) and my friend said her messages don't say "delivered" at the bottom but they still talk. Mine always say delivered at the bottom. So is this an error, like it didn't go through, or is he just ignoring me?

Your friend needs to have turned on iMessage and automatically send a confirmation.

Settings -> Messages -> iMessage : On

Settings -> Messages -> Send Read Receipts : On

If they don't have these both on, you will not get a confirmation.
