What Does It Mean When Messages Turn Green On Iphone?

Do blocked iMessages turn green?

Check the Bubble Color – Another way to know if someone blocked you on iMessage is to check the bubble color. If you see green bubbles, this means that your text messages are being sent through SMS, and they might have blocked you on iMessage. For example, if you send me a message and I receive it with a green bubble, this means that the message was sent through SMS rather than iMessage.

If you don’t see a blue bubble on your end, then it’s likely that they’ve blocked you on iMessage. It’s important to note that this doesn’t mean they have blocked your number altogether; it just means they have blocked you from sending them messages over iMessage. SMS is a cellular carrier technology where Apple controls iMessage.

If a person blocks you on iMessage, then they won’t get any of your texts at all. When an iMessage user blocks another user or stops receiving their messages altogether instead of seeing these messages in blue bubbles (as they should), they’ll see them listed as “not delivered” instead of being able to read them outright on their phone screen like normal conversations would appear under normal circumstances without any issues whatsoever.

Why did my text messages turn from blue to green?

p”>

If your iPhone messages are green, it means they’re being sent as SMS texts rather than iMessages. You’ll always see green when texting Android users, or when you’re not connected to the internet. If all of your iPhone messages are green, you should make sure iMessage is turned on in Settings.

You may have noticed that the text messages in your iPhone’s Messages app can appear as either green or blue. The difference? Green messages are ordinary SMS text messages, while blue messages are using Apple’s proprietary iMessage format. If you’re used to seeing blue iMessage text bubbles but they are suddenly green, it can be an indication you’ve been blocked – but that’s just one possibility, and isn’t necessarily the most likely.

Why are my messages sending green to another iPhone?

The Impact of Green Texts on Your iPhone Experience – While the color of your messages might seem like a minor detail, it can have a significant impact on your iPhone experience. iMessages (blue) offer a richer messaging experience with features like read receipts, typing indicators, and full-resolution photo and video sharing.

They also work over Wi-Fi, which can be a big advantage if you’re traveling internationally or have a limited cellular data plan. On the other hand, SMS/MMS messages (green) are more universally compatible. They can be sent to or received from any phone, regardless of the operating system. However, they lack many of the features of iMessage and can incur additional charges, depending on your cellular plan.

If your texts are green when sending to another iPhone, it’s likely because the message is being sent as an SMS/MMS rather than an iMessage. This could be due to iMessage being turned off, network issues, or the recipient’s device not being connected to the internet. Meet Emily Chen, a travel writer and eSIM enthusiast.

Am I blocked if my text doesn’t say delivered?

Will text message say “Delivered” if blocked on iPhone? Looks like no one’s replied in a while. To start the conversation again, simply For weeks messages always go through blue and say delivered. No read receipts have ever been on. Has this friend blocked me.

• Delivered means delivered,
• If your message has been blocked, you will never know unless the recipient tells you you are blocked.
• The only difference may be if their device was set up to send Read Receipts, if it suddenly just starts saying “Delivered” that means they either blocked you or they shut Read Receipts off.
• Either way, you will not know unless they tell you.

Page content loaded Your messages will just say “Delivered” unless the recipient specifically has “Read Receipts” enabled. I understand. I’m more interested to know if a blue iMessage that says delivered is an indicator of being blocked. I believe years ago in the past it would still say delivered when you were blocked.

1. Delivered means delivered,
2. If your message has been blocked, you will never know unless the recipient tells you you are blocked.
3. The only difference may be if their device was set up to send Read Receipts, if it suddenly just starts saying “Delivered” that means they either blocked you or they shut Read Receipts off.
4. Either way, you will not know unless they tell you.

If someone blocks you on iMessage, you will not see ANY status message under the last message you have sent to them, PERIOD! I don’t know why people spread so much mis-information around on this on the internet. i tested this and got two different results. I was using two different iPhone an 8plus and 14 Pro, both up to date on iOS 16.3.1.

When the iPhone 14 Pro blocked the iPhone 8 Plus, all sent text messages showed delivered on the iPhone 8 Plus whether blocked or not. However, when the iPhone 8 blocked the iPhone 14, when blocked all sent text messages had no notification under them.

So how to tell if someone blocked your number from texts with an Android phone? If an Android user has blocked you, Lavelle says, “your text messages will go through as usual; they just won’t be delivered to the Android user.” It’s the same as an iPhone, but without the “delivered” notification (or lack thereof) to clue you in.

“The simplest way to tell if you have been blocked by an Android user is to call,” Lavelle says. Just like with an iPhone, listen for it to be diverted to voicemail or play you a pre-recorded message. Of course, this doesn’t automatically mean that person has blocked your phone number; your call may be diverted to voicemail for other reasons.

What is the difference between text message and iMessage?

What is iMessage? – iMessage is available only on Apple devices through the Messages app. It feels to users like an instant messaging service and is similar to SMS in that the message format looks the same.

Do people know if they are blocked on iMessage?

If I block someone, will they know it?,And are their iMessages still retrievable? Jul 13, 2008 3,666 1,446 I wanna block someone. Both of us have iOS 7, if that matters. Once I block them from my End, will they be notified either immediately or say when they try to send me an iMessage or call? Further, say I unblock them at the end of the week, expecting a flood of messages from her end to come in.

-or does it not work this way? They are not notified. If you want them to know, then tell them. Blocking prevents delivery of the message. Undelivered blocked messages are not stored for later delivery. Unblocking resumes delivery of that person’s new messages. Calls roll directly to voicemail. You can navigate to listen to them or not.

Furthermore, if they send you an iMessage, it will say that it was delivered on their phone, so they won’t even know that you’re not seeing their message.

All the blocked feature does is block you from seeing the call/mesesage on your phone. It is not a block by the carrier, it doesn’t prevent it from being sent, only from being seen on your end. It is not a block by the carrier, it doesn’t prevent it from being sent, only from being seen on your end. Yeah spot on.

The block is from within the IOS which is why it goes to voicemail and the messages appear sent etc. I guess its clever that they are able to implement a level of call blocking which is controlled by the user. A complete carrier initiated block request is a long process! Calls roll directly to voicemail.

You can navigate to listen to them or not. Your choice. I have like 2 people blocked, and I set it up to block my home number to test it. When I did that, it still rang thru, then went to voicemail. Does yours go straight? I think that is a much better idea than ringing for a while first. The latter makes it seem like you’re ignoring them as opposed to your phone being off.

• The latter makes it seem like you’re ignoring them as opposed to your phone being off.
• Yeah there’s a you tub video test where the phone rings once and then voicemail begins.
• Text messages still say delivered.
• Dec 8, 2009 8,551 1,662 Please stop saying calls are automatically forwarded to voicemail, since this is carrier related.

I have voicemail deactivated on my SIM so blocked calls are simply dropped after a ring I have like 2 people blocked, and I set it up to block my home number to test it.

1. The latter makes it seem like you’re ignoring them as opposed to your phone being off.
2. In my basic test a while back a blocked number had no ring through and rolled directly to vm.
3. Please stop saying calls are automatically forwarded to voicemail, since this is carrier related.
4. I have voicemail deactivated on my SIM so blocked calls are simply dropped after a ring Either I misunderstand your point or it was a tad pedant.

Obviously if you don’t have an active vm account with the carrier there is no where for the blocked (basically rejected) call to go. This is my guesswork of the basic functionality: an incoming call that is blocked at your handset will basically be auto-rejected before ring-through.

If you have a vm account set up with your carrier then it will go directly there; if you do not have vm it will drop into Stephen Hawkins’ pocket ( and in some cases with a vm recording telling the caller that the vm has not been set up). That is the functionality that seems to be in play from my limited experience.

I defer to those who have more technical knowledge. If you block someone, they do not receieve any notification that they have been blocked. The only way for them to know would be for you to tell them. Furthermore, if they send you an iMessage, it will say that it was delivered on their phone, so they won’t even know that you’re not seeing their message.

All the blocked feature does is block you from seeing the call/mesesage on your phone. It is not a block by the carrier, it doesn’t prevent it from being sent, only from being seen on your end. So after the blocker unblocks them they will NOT see any messages that the person being blocked sent while they were blocked?? There was a video posted back during the betas, can’t find it now, but basically the “Sender” has no idea that you have blocked them.

They still txt you, call you, etc. but the difference is calls just go straight to voicemail, and txts just never arrive. It’s not like Google Voice which sends your calls to a fake ‘Number cannot be reached’ audio file. Their should be a SMS bounce back to alert the sender their message didn’t get through.

As it stands, senders think their messages arrive Nov 28, 2013 711 0 i had this question to-when they call what happens does or just ring until they hang up or dos it say they are blocked??? Oct 17, 2011 51,389 19,457 i had this question to-when they call what happens does or just ring until they hang up or dos it say they are blocked??? It rings until they get to voicemail.

Essentially as if you didn’t answer the call (except you didn’t even get the call). Oct 17, 2011 51,389 19,457 Ok thanks- is there a way to block people texts- I haven’t figured that one out yet. Yes. Same way as calls are blocked essentially-when you block someone it blocks calls and messages as far as I recall.

Question on blocked iPhone users I think I may have been blocked by another iPhone user. Everything I’ve read says even iMessages will say delivered as normal.my ? Is: If the iMessages go thru as “delivered” BUT at certain times ALSO go thru as text messages, (like when the receiver is out of svc range or phone is off) is that a good indicator that I am not, in fact, blocked? If the person has you blocked will it still tell that they “kept An audio message from you”?? Aug 11, 2005 3,528 10 If the person has you blocked will it still tell that they “kept An audio message from you”?? if you were blocked they wouldnt have been able to see the audio message.

if you see the msg as saved, they definitely do not have you blocked. I think I may have been blocked by another iPhone user.

Is: If the iMessages go thru as “delivered” BUT at certain times ALSO go thru as text messages, (like when the receiver is out of svc range or phone is off) is that a good indicator that I am not, in fact, blocked?

If someone blocked you from their iphone i use to get a message saying the att customer is not available does this still happen and also if they blocked you do they have to unblock you to send u a message??? and if not and they can still text you do they see ur response? Oct 17, 2011 51,389 19,457 if someone blocked you from their iphone i use to get a message saying the att customer is not available does this still happen and also if they blocked you do they have to unblock you to send u a message??? and if not and they can still text you do they see ur response? Perhaps if they blocked you from the carrier side of things you would get a message like that, if they blocked you from iOS then there wouldn’t be any message of that type.

I don’t recall if they need to unblock you to send you something (I think they don’t need to do that), but if you are blocked and you send a message to them (whether its a reply or just your own new message) they won’t get it. : If I block someone, will they know it?,And are their iMessages still retrievable?

Can you iMessage someone if you blocked them?

After you block someone using an IOS device, you will not be able to receive or send messages to the individual. You can still send the message but it will not be delivered.

Are you blocked if iMessage sends as text?

iMessage Sent as Text Message: Am I Blocked? iMessage is a free messaging app for Apple devices that allows for easy and convenient communication between users. However, sometimes users may encounter a notification saying “iMessage Sent as Text Message” while trying to send messages.

This can be confusing and often leads to the question: “Am I blocked?” Firstly, it is important to understand the difference between iMessage and text messages (SMS). iMessage uses the internet to send messages while text messages use the cellular network. So, when iMessage is not available or there is poor internet connectivity, the message will be sent as a text message.

If the notification “iMessage Sent as Text Message” only appears occasionally, it may simply be due to poor internet connectivity. However, if this happens consistently with one particular contact, there may be a chance that you have been blocked by them.

1. Blocking is a function that allows users to prevent someone from contacting them via phone, text message, or iMessage.
2. If you have been blocked, you will not be able to send iMessages to that person.
3. Instead, your messages will be sent as text messages, and in some cases, they may not even be delivered.

Other signs that you may have been blocked include the inability to make a phone call to that person, not seeing their profile picture or status updates, and not being able to see when they were last active on iMessage. So, how can you confirm if you have been blocked? Unfortunately, there is no straightforward answer.

Apple has not provided any official way to check if you have been blocked on iMessage. However, there are a few things you can do to check: – Try calling the person. If you cannot make a phone call to them, it is possible that you have been blocked. – Ask a mutual friend to check if they can send messages to that person.

If they can still send iMessages, it is likely that you have been blocked. – Create a new message thread and try sending them a message. If your message is sent as a text message or if it does not go through at all, you may have been blocked. : iMessage Sent as Text Message: Am I Blocked?
