Texting on IPhone 4-what does the symbol with the 3 dots mean?

I just received a text message. As I was responding, the little symbol with the 3dots appeared which I always assumed meant the other person was still typing more, but nothing came through. Isn't that what it means?

Yea it meant they were typing then stopped. Lol

It means the other person is typing.

If nothing came through, then they never sent what they typed.

It's iMessage, it means they were typing but then stopped & maybe jut didn't reply back.

Yes, it means they were going to write more, but before they sent they saw the ellipsis (… Or "three dots") coming from you and so the politely waited for you to respond before they said more.

Yes when it comes to text messages the three dots mean they are typing something

Does it mean they are typing to you or could they be sending someone else a text

  • Why doesn't my iPhone show the 4G symbol but it shows the LTE symbol? I have Verizon as a carrier, and I just aksed this question but didn't ask it right. YES I HAVE 4G LTE. I've had the phone for 2 months and have been many places with it. It only shows the circle, 3G, and the LTE symbol, but not 4G or the Edge symbol. If anyone knows why, please let me know.
