Received Message
The reason why your text bubble is blue on Instagram is because it indicates that the message you sent has been received by the recipient. In the context of Instagram Direct Messaging, when you send a message to someone, the text bubble initially appears as purple. However, once the recipient has received and viewed your message, the color of the text bubble changes to blue.
This color change serves as a visual cue to let you know that your message has been successfully delivered and seen by the person you sent it to. It helps you track the status of your messages and provides a sense of assurance that your communication has reached its intended recipient.
In addition to the color change, Instagram also includes other indicators to show the status of your message. For example, a small checkmark icon appears next to the message once it has been sent, and a small eye icon appears once it has been viewed.
The choice of blue as the color for received messages is likely a design decision made by Instagram to create a clear distinction between sent and received messages. By using different colors, it becomes easier for users to differentiate between their own sent messages and the messages they have received from others.
It’s worth noting that the color of the text bubble can vary slightly depending on the device or version of the Instagram app you are using. However, the general concept of using different colors to distinguish between sent and received messages remains the same.
The blue text bubble on Instagram indicates that your message has been successfully delivered and viewed by the recipient. This color change helps you track the status of your messages and provides a visual cue that your communication has been received.
