IMessages turning green can be a result of several factors. The color change from blue to green indicates that your message is being sent as an SMS text message instead of an iMessage. Here are a few possible reasons for this sudden change:
1. Non-Apple devices: One common reason for iMessages turning green is when you are messaging someone who doesn’t have an Apple device. iMessages are exclusive to Apple devices and can only be sent between Apple users. When you send a message to an Android user or any non-Apple device, it automatically converts to an SMS text message, which appears in green.
2. No internet connection: iMessages require an active internet connection to work. If you don’t have a stable internet connection or your device is not connected to the internet, your iMessages will not go through. In such cases, your messages will be sent as SMS texts instead, and the color will change to green.
3. iMessage settings: Sometimes, the iMessage feature itself may be turned off on your device. To check if iMessage is enabled, go to Settings on your iPhone, scroll down to Messages, and make sure the iMessage toggle switch is turned on. If it’s off, your messages will be sent as SMS texts.
4. Temporary iMessage outage: Occasionally, there might be temporary issues with Apple’s iMessage servers. This can result in iMessages not being sent or delivered properly. During such outages, your messages may be sent as SMS texts until the iMessage service is restored.
5. Message size limitations: iMessages have a limit on the size of media files or attachments you can send. If you exceed this limit, your message may not be delivered as an iMessage and will be converted to an SMS text instead.
It’s worth noting that while iMessages offer additional features like read receipts, typing indicators, and end-to-end encryption, SMS text messages are more universal and can be sent to any phone, regardless of the operating system.
IMessages may suddenly turn green when you are messaging a non-Apple user, when there is no internet connection, when iMessage is disabled, during temporary outages, or when you exceed the message size limit. It’s a normal behavior of the messaging system to switch to SMS texts in these situations.
