iMessage.

i am texting someone with an iPhone and I am also texting on a iPhone and both of our phones are on and paid , but our conversation is green. It has been happening with a few of my messages. It will send as iMessage and immediately go to green or text message. I don’t know if it is normal or something i need to change in settings.

Hey there,


Make sure you and that person is enabled the iMessage!


If you see a green message bubble instead of a blue one, then that message was sent using MMS/SMS instead of iMessage. There are several reasons for this:

  • The person that you sent the message to doesn't have an Apple device.
  • iMessage is turned off on your device or on your recipient’s device. To check if iMessage is turned on for your device, go to Settings > Messages > iMessage.
  • iMessage is temporarily unavailable on your device or on your recipient’s device.
