Ever wondered why some of your iPhone messages are green instead of blue? It's not a tech glitch, it's simply the way Apple communicates with non-Apple devices.
Blue messages, or iMessages, are sent between Apple devices (iPhones, iPads, Macs) using Apple's proprietary messaging service. They're encrypted, and offer features like read receipts and tapbacks.
Green messages, on the other hand, are SMS/MMS texts sent through your cellular carrier. This happens when you're messaging someone who doesn't have an iPhone, or when iMessage is unavailable (like if you're out of Wi-Fi or cellular data).
So, seeing green doesn't mean something's broken. It just means you're communicating with someone using a different messaging system, or your iMessage connection is temporarily down. Now you know! No need to panic next time you see that green bubble.
