This works very well to cancel the sending of picture messages, audio messages, and video messages from an iPhone. If the “Sending…” message and status bar is still visible, you did not complete the trick properly and you’ll need to try again. If the message says “Delivered”, or nothing, it probably sent. If you see “Not Delivered” you know it worked. Wait a moment or two and turn AirPlane mode back off, you’ll see the Message that you canceled on will have a red warning text saying “Not Delivered” with an (!) exclamation mark, indicating the message was not sent – you successfully canceled sending the message.Tap the Airplane icon to turn on AirPlane mode – this turns off the iPhones cellular antenna and wi-fi radio which will stop the message from being sent.While the message displays “Sending…” in progress and there is a visible blue progress bar for the message trying to send, quickly flip up from the bottom of the screen to open Control Center.From the iOS Messages app, be in the active message thread that you wish to stop a message being sent – do be aware this will apply to all messages attempting to send, however.You have to act quick, here’s how this works: How to Cancel Sending a Message from iPhone or iPad As long as “Sending…” is in progress and there is the blue progress bar visible, you can cancel sending the message, here’s how this works on iPhone (and iPad or other iOS devices too). This is indicated in the Messages app by recipients name turning into “Sending…” text, and you’ll see a blue progress bar across the top of the screen. The requirements for canceling a message from being sent are pretty straightforward: you can only cancel a message while it is attempting to be sent in progress. Nonetheless, it absolutely does actually stop a message from being sent if you are fast enough. To be clear, this is very much a trick, because there’s no direct method to cancel sending a message from the iPhone, and it requires some quick action on the users part.

The one who helped me was Martina and she was pretty sharp.If you’ve ever hit “Send” on an iMessage or text message that you wish you could take back, or perhaps you’d just like to cancel a sent picture because it’s stuck on ‘Sending’ and taking forever to send the message due to a congested network connection, then you may find this iPhone “cancel send” trick to be handy. So check your Messages app, send and receive, that may be the culprit. I can't figure out how to upload from my PC.

I would upload a picture of the Messages setting, but the image tool here sucks. I suspect this is what is tripping people up, at least for iPhones. This is definitely not intuitive and should be much more seamless. Once I selected my Visible number to send and receive, I could receive messages. But my work number was, hence why my brother could respond to my work number for messages. She asked me if my Visible phone number was selected to send and receive messages. Once the configuration completed, the chat rep told me to go to Settings, Messages, and tap Send & Receive. This afternoon I deleted the eSIM, redownloaded it and ran the setup. After doing all this and restarting my phone, still wasn't getting messages. Today, 3/20/23, I worked with a chat agent who had me delete the original eSIM, redownload it and also remove the physical SIM card from my previous carrier. In addition, I noticed my brother was getting and replying messages from me on my work number, which is also an iphone connected to my Apple ID like my personal iPhone 11. Could only send them, like everyone else. So I just activated service on 3/19/23 by porting my old number on my existing iPhone 11.
