Deleting an iMessage before "Delivered" Status

[Trauma1]

If you send an iMessage and delete it before the "Delivered" confirmation comes up, what happens? Does the recipient receive it or not?

Not sure about this one but I'd like to believe it doesn't get delivered. Although, the way things are going for iMessage these days, it probably gets delivered to millions of phones.

As a sidebar, if you dictate a text using the mic (4S only, obviously), and press Send before the "little pink dots" materialize into words, you'll get an empty bubble and a "Sending..." status indefinitely.

They get it.

Tho if the message does fail to go through your phone won't automatically send a txt in its place
