Green messages

Maxw7 — Fri, 28 Apr 2023 06:33:34 GMT

Why are my messages sometimes being sent in green and not blue. I can't see if it's been delivered or received.

Is it because the receiver has turned off messages.

How can i resolve this please.

Yes, if the receiver hasn't enable it in his settings then they are shown green. Ask who your sending the messages to, to turn his settings on.

@Maxw7: If the message bubbles are green, then they have been sent in SMS or MMS format, while blue bubbles have been sent as a chat format. If you open the Messages app > Tap the 3 dots in the top right > Settings > Chat settings > Default message type, and set this to Automatic, then this will adjust the format accordingly, depending on the recipient, and your current connection status. As pointed out by @Fiona26, a Wi-Fi connection is required in order to send messages as a chat, but you can also tap on 'If a chat isn't delivered' and select 'Ask before resending' if you'd prefer to maintain some format continuity with a certain contact.
