To know if your text was delivered on Android, open the Messaging app and check for status icons next to the message. A single checkmark usually means that the message was sent, while a double checkmark or 'Delivered' status indicates it has been delivered. Some apps may also show 'Read' once the recipient reads the message. Ensure delivery reports are enabled in your messaging settings for this feature.
