I am signed in on my ipod 4th gen and my Iphone 5. Both have icloud enabled so everything syncs, including the messages. I recently sent my friend who is out of the country for vacation a message. I had both devices open and they sent each message in sync at the same time, the ipod 4th gen says it is "delivered" but my iphone says it is not. Is it really delivered or do I have to wait for it to sync to my iphone as "delivered"? I sent another test message on my ipod and it says it is delivered again but why won't it say that for my iphone? Sometimes it takes hours to minutes for the delivery status to sync together but I was wondering if there was a cause to this. Sorry, I'm not very good with apple electronics.
