If you suspect that someone has blocked you on iMessage, there are a few indicators that you can look for, though unfortunately there isn’t one definitive way to know for sure.
The first, and possibly most obvious, sign is if all of your messages to the person have been sent, but you have yet to receive a response. You can also check to see if their ‘last active’ time has been updated to reflect when the messages were sent; if no new ‘last active’ time appears, it might indicate that the person has blocked you.
Another potential clue is if the messages are sent with a single tick instead of the two ticks that generally appear when a message has been delivered. If all your other messages are showing two ticks but messages sent to the person in question only show one, then they might have blocked you.
Finally, you may wish to try calling or FaceTiming the person; if they don’t pick up or reject the call, it could be a sign that they have decided to cut off contact with you. While none of these signs are definitive, taken together they can provide a reasonable idea of whether someone has blocked you on iMessage.
Why is iMessage suddenly green?
iMessage is an Apple messaging service that supports text messages and multimedia messages between two Apple users. Messages sent between Apple devices are blue, however if the recipient does not use an Apple device and instead has a Verizon or other mobile carrier that does not allow Apple to verify the recipient’s information, then the messages sent show up as green.
This is because the message is not being sent as an iMessage, but as a text message sent through the mobile carrier. Therefore, if someone with an Apple device suddenly sends a message to a non-Apple device, the message will show up as green instead of blue.
What happens when someone blocks you on iMessage?
When someone blocks you on iMessage, they will no longer be able to send you any messages or place calls to you on the app. Your messages will no longer be delivered to them, and your calls won’t go through.
Additionally, if you try to contact the person, your messages will remain undelivered and your calls will be sent straight through to voicemail. If you are blocked by another user, you won’t be notified, so you may not be aware of the blocked status until you attempt to contact the person.
What does it mean when your iMessage goes from blue to green?
When your iMessage goes from blue to green, this means that your message has been sent as a ‘text’ message rather than an ‘iMessage’. iMessages are sent over the same Internet connection that you use for email and browsing the web, while ‘text’ messages are sent over the cellular network using your text/SMS plan.
When your message is sent as a text due to weak or unavailable internet connection, the bubble turns from blue to green. This is because it will cost you money to send these messages, if you are on a plan with limited texts or one that charges for each text sent.
If you have an unlimited texting plan, then it won’t matter whether your messages are blue or green.
Why did my iMessage turn green to another iPhone?
iMessage will usually turn green when you are sending a message to someone who does not use an iPhone. This is because iMessage is designed to only work with Apple products. When you send a message to someone who does not have an iPhone, the message is sent through your cellular provider’s SMS service, which is indicated by the green color.
Additionally, some newer iOS versions will automatically detect when you’re sending a message to someone who does not own an iPhone and will switch to SMS automatically, causing your message to turn green.
Why are my messages green for only one person?
The reason your messages are green for only one person is because that person is using an Android phone and you are sending text messages via Android Messages. Green color messages are sent via the RCS (Rich Communication Services) protocol, which is only available for Android users that have enabled it.
The person you are sending messages to likely has RCS enabled, while you may not. You can enable RCS by opening the Android Messages app and selecting Settings, then selecting Chat Features and enabling the RCS switch.
Keep in mind, both you and the person you are messaging need to have RCS enabled for messages to appear as green. If you or the other person has not enabled RCS, messages will appear blue and will not be sent via the RCS protocol.
Why are some text messages blue and some green?
The color of a text message can depend on many factors. If you’re having a conversation with someone who uses an iPhone, their messages may appear as blue bubbles. On the other hand, if you’re sending messages to someone with an Android device, the messages might be green.
The reason for this is that Apple and Android use different types of messaging services. Specifically, iPhones use iMessage and Android devices use a similar platform called Rich Communication Services.
Since these two services use different technologies, they create messages that are displayed as differently-colored bubbles.
Also, blue bubbles may be seen in some group conversations if the participants are using a mixture of iPhones and Android devices. In this case, Apple would send out iMessage bubbles in blue and Rich Communication Services would be sent in green.
Ultimately, the color of a text message depends on a variety of factors including what type of device it is being sent from and what type of messaging service is being used.
Why did my texts go from blue to green?
The color of your text message is determined by how you and the recipient’s phone carrier handles SMS messages, which are sent through the cellular network. Generally, any messages that are sent from an iPhone to an Android or from an Android to an iPhone will appear in green, as this is how both phone carriers denote that the message is neither an iMessage nor a standard SMS message.
Additionally, some Android phones will show all text messages as green, regardless of whether it’s being sent from an iPhone or another Android device. If you’re using an iPhone, blue is usually the indicator that the recipient is also using an iPhone, while green displays when a message is sent to an Android user.
If your messages are changing from blue to green, this is likely because the recipient recently switched to an Android phone or recently switched phone carriers.
Why are some of my contacts green?
Some of your contacts may be green if you are using a messaging service like Skype or Microsoft Teams. The green contacts indicate that the people listed are online and available to communicate through the messaging service.
The messaging service may even have an indicator to let you know if a certain contact is available at the moment. When you chat with someone, they will appear in a different color, usually blue or purple, to indicate that the conversation is currently active.
