Reason Why iPhone Message Turns Green ?
It may be frustrating when Message conversations on your iPhone turn green, but there are reasons why this happen?
So, iMessage is an internet-based platform where users can
send messages between Apple devices. It works over Wi-fi or by using your
cellular data plan. This is a difference technology than SMS text messaging
which uses traditional cell tower services to deliver texts. These messages can
be used if you have no data plan at all, but do count against your monthly text
limits and typically only allow 160 characters.
The iPhone supports both iMessage and SMS texts. So to make
it clear which is being used, every message you send is color-coded. Blue means
the message was sent through iMessage, while green means it was sent as an SMS
text. Now, if you’re messaging an Android user, the entire conversation will be
green since iMessage only works between two Apple devices.
But if you were having a blue conversation that suddenly
turned green, there are a few things that may’ve happened. It could be an
indication that the recipient blocked your number, since Apple doesn’t deliver any type of notification when you’re
blocked. You simply won’t be able to message that number anymore.
But more common causes of the dreaded green message is the
person’s phone being off, running out of battery, being in airplane mode, or if
they’re simply out of range of their cellular network. All you can do in
moments like these is to wait until the recipient is back online.
Although once they are, you still won’t know for sure if the
message was delivered since that feature is only available while having a blue
conversation through iMessage. In fact, most features you typically enjoy won’t
be available. Like the tying indicator, read receipts, and audio messages.
Capabilities that haven’t proven to be so essential, that
iPhone users are actually less likely to date people using Android. So while it
is disappointing to see a green message appear in the middle of a conversation
or when contacting a new person, all you can do is hope you didn’t get blocked
or that the Android user you’re starting a conversation with someday switches
to iPhone.
