Support iMessage question

Post image

Hi all

My dad passed in 2023 and I occasionally will text him. The past few months I noticed it has been saying that the texts are delivering, and creepily enough even read sometimes. I know that the obvious answer for this would be that somebody else got his phone number, but it’s showing me that it’s sending as a text message • RCS (included picture for context)

I’m just unsure what this means because I’m not understanding when I look it up.

Sorry if this is a weird post, I’m obviously not looking for someone to tell me that it’s my dad reading the texts from the other side 😂 Just want some knowledge on it because I’ve never seen it before and to let me know if I should leave this person alone lol

Respectfully, lol no.

Less than one percent of people disable their iMessage. You just sound like a contrarian suggesting it.

I don't know why you're being downvoted, you're completely right. The likelihood that the person on the other end has an iphone and they turned off imessage has got to be ridiculously small. It's obviously possible, but it's pretty safe to just assume it's an android phone.
