- It may be frustrating when iMessage conversations on your Apple iPhone turn green, but there are reasons why that happens. And I’ll explain what those are in this video.

I have a question
Why in America iphone users use Imessage
One of the most important thing in a social media/messaging app is cross platform and without this feature your messaging app is flawed and could not be compared to other cross platform betrer apps
Look for me any messaging/social media app that is not cross platform is considered one of the worst app even if it has the best features it is still the worst because it failed to deliver its purpose which is to make talking to people afar more convenient
Here in ksa and most of the Arab world we use WhatsApp because you could use on it on wide variety of devices but for me still I would love to change because whatsapp works only on one device and to use WhatsApp web you need to have your phone always connected
I want a messaging app that is cross platform and works on multiple devices at once and uses email instead of phone number and has a web app so I could use it wherever I want

@@nathantaylor2026 I had this question
@@Platinum199 same
@@nathantaylor2026 I has this question
Short answer: they turn green when you don’t have wi-fi or cellular data and it sends as sms
No if you didn't have wifi or cellular data, it wouldn't send the message at all. How could it? It's because the person on the other end is not using iMessage.
@@DoctorHero sms ≠ cellular data
@@qpol What?
@@qpol What are you talking about? You have to have service in order to send SMS messages.
@@DoctorHero no. You don’t need data for sms.
Such a random question with a reasonable answer lol.
I didn't even have to watch the video to know why
And I'm not an iPhone user.
A pretty pointless question if you ask me. How does this help anyone?
@@DoctorHero well, I guess there's some people who don't know, maybe new iPhone users?
Idk they'd prolly feel it would be useful for them to know why if they happen to stumble on this video.
If older iPhone users still don't know why until seeing this video, then that's a shame.
You don't even have to be an iPhone user to have a near perfect guess.

Greg, just a suggestion. I'd like to see a video on this channel comparing Windows to Mac and why each OS has its strengths and weaknesses. Just like the Android v iOS video you made last year.
Quick answer: green = SMS
Blue = iMessage
The entire video was a quick answer it’s 2 minutes

I just wanted to let you know that I love your videos and that they are very informational and I get to learn a lot about technology… so thank you
The thumbnail of this video is brilliant
This happened to me for the first time just the other day in a group chat with my sisters. It was quite shocking! I was in the middle of a massive download and in a part of the house where I get a weak cell signal. I never knew whether they received my text or not.
I assume it was due to the temporarily weak signal.
Advantage: Android, as SMS does support read notifications, which Android uses. However, there are settings to allow or not allow "delivered" and "read" notifications for the person receiving the message.
I had a mix of "it's based on cellular data and wifi" and recently "iPhone vs andriod, but why doesn't it show on their messages instead of mine" and now this explains this
One of the things that I find annoying about the green bubbles is that I am in a group text and unless everyone has an iPhone, you can’t use things like the reply feature, every time you or someone else loves, likes, dislikes, questions, emphasizes, or questions a text message, it appears as an entirely new message bubble from the person, for example, as: Liked “I can come to the activity.”
@Pnylyck Jvanof yup
Or quit being so lazy. What would you do if you didn’t have a cell phone at all. Society is weak
@@anneofgreengables9 no one cares 💀
@@anneofgreengables9 Yeah, I’m grateful for my iPhone 14 Pro.
I don’t see the problems that the green bubble presents as a big deal, I was just commenting about it, because it related to the video.
For sure. Always make *that one person* stand out and it makes the rest of the folks wish they just got an iPhone.
Whoever doesn’t know this…..I can’t believe you did a video on this.
Love your videos always straight to the point
I've always found Americans' obsession with the blue or green texts so out of place and kinda superficial. The rest of the world doesn't even use iMessage, even if you have an iPhone.
It’s a USA thing. Because the rest of the world uses WhatsApp. That’s why apple will try to make iMessage like WhatsApp now.
What country are you from? It's very common in England as well, though I have never met anyone who was concerned about blue vs green messages
It's a high school clique thing
So true. Here in Central America most people use third-party chat apps like WhatsApp
Yeah, here in Mexico we don’t use iMessage. In personal, I like more WhatsApp that iMessage because of the features
Finally something I already knew 🤣
Great explanation!
Really appreciate it!
I love this channel!
Imagine the kind of human being that would only date someone with the same phone… dodged a fucking ICBM with that one.

More like an Interplanetary Warhead 🤣
RCS (chat feature) people when it goes back to SMS: pain
Short crisp and informative video
Thank you for this amazing 🤩 informative video
I wish you could customize your colors. So obviously SMS Texts would stay green but for iMessage if you could change it to any color besides green like red, purple, yellow, that would be awesome.
That's impossible. won't allow it since it'll make ios users less likely to know which platform they're chatting with
I like how he showed the latest iPhone model, but a decade older Android. Nice marketing.
I just commented the same thing! I'm mildly infuriated by this
It's because their iphones are sooo outdated and cannot compete with the latest android phones. Android has 200x zoom camera, 120hz, curved display, flip screens! And yet, apple added some ugly widgets that have been available on android since 2009 and called them "new" 😂😂😂😂
@@shadowrock Yeah but that's just how business works lol. But an iPhone may have some points were it is better than others. For me, even tho a Samsung User, *the specialty of iPhone is it is an iPhone.*
Apple themselves also does this, when they showed FaceApp working on Android it had thick bezels and a notch
Very well made video!
This was very informative
You should do "Why apple's pro products don't come in RED"
Because no pro is interested in marketing BS
@@ThunderBird0510 proudct red items support the Company red wich Supports the fight against hiv and aids how is it marketing bs?🤦♂️
I’m writing this on a Product (Red) iPhone 8. It’s a very nice red.
@@stiegelzeine2186 I meant that apple is not willing to give up profits in the pro segment at any cost
Even the RED phone, 100% goes to fighting aids and stuff but apple is not willing to give up that profit in the pro segment
I just wish more of my friends used it. Even iPhone users barely check iMessages in India.
@lucifer yeah. Moreover they’re more expensive in India bec of taxes. We all just use WhatsApp. But it annoys me bec I really love Apple’s app, and I can share photos without them losing their property there, esp Live Photos. But end up having to receive them on shitty WhatsApp because that’s what they’ll use. (Unless ofc I asked them to AirDrop when we meet.)
Oh, two minutes ago😂 Love your videos! 😍
thank you for informing us. I'm an android user, and yall don't know how many times I've been told to switch to an iPhone for this "green bubble" reason.
Haven't watched yet, but I'm guessing it has to do with the difference between iMessages and text messages. Text messages are handled by all smartphones, but iMessages are only handled by iPhones.
I mean, I don’t think someone will chose the love of their love based on the colour of their messages but I mean, I guess everyone is different
It’s not the color, it’s the features that come with iMessage, the typing indicator, the delivered/read indicator, voice messages, and more are all lost using SMS text.
@@TAKV_gaming sounds like a big deal... not
@@TAKV_gaming so pretty much everything that Facebook messenger does
Oh you can, or could get both sent, and delivery SMS notifications back when SMS was the main method of text communication. I remember my feature phones pre 2009 having these features.
Ty for making this
If someone really has an issue with seeing a green bubble, or not dating someone because of what phone they use, they should get themselves checked.
Or just get an iPhone, Boo!
@@brandynettleton1658or just let people spend money on what they want, boo 🤯
Imessage is a different platform but its from Apple and the green message it’s the same but not send with the platform of apple its for the "global"
i didn't need this video at all yet he makes the video longer than i expect by inserting details i didn't even know
The last line was gold
SMS messages can also happen if you don’t have good cell service as the sender

@Beats Beats why? I've had an IPhone and I've count it to be bad. You guys don't have vanced lol
@@viathenomad lol Man I'm not gonna shift to iPhone anytime soon, it was just a joke 😅😂
@@NaveedKhanYT What? I literally said "use what you want".
Thanks bro this really helped
Thank's. Now I know why that happens!
Not dating for not having an iPhone? Doesn’t any other message apps exists in the USA or what?
In the US at least iMessage is the 2nd largest. #1 has to be traditional SMS
They all do, more than likely whichever one you’re using was invented in the US
Fun fact, google messages, one of the most popular messaging apps on Android, has light blue for sms, and dark blue for when it's using encryption, so you always get blue messages no matter who you text. They also have features like read receipts, typing indicators, reactions, and even end to end encryption, assuming the recipient has these features turned on as well. So android to android can be just as cool as iPhone to iPhone 🙂
No but that’s standard stuff, every messaging thing has that, except Google messages doesn’t have green texts.
That's why my friends with iphones always send me crap videos, I was confused at first because I thought iphone send high quality...
@@The-Heart-Will-Testify yep, sms is terrible for sending images/videos. Try using something like Signal maybe.
Samsung has this cool feature where you can create a link which will cause the file to be sent to the cloud in full resolution. It will also allow you to copy this link to your clipboard and/or share it to whoever you want; all they have to do is tap the link (they need internet access), and it will take them to the file. From there they can view/download the file and it will look as good as it did on the phone it came from. Now, this doesn't apply to your friend as they don't have a Samsung but thought I'd mention it xD
@@jonathantierney7301 It's called link sharing. Sharing link (contains files after accessing) through Samsung cloud. Any files can be shared using it even the highest quality. A bit sad part for some is it's default files is 5gb it will be stored in the cloud for 2 days the link will be expired/invalid afterwards. But that capacity is enough for me. This feature also makes me glad that I chose Samsung.
@@reubenmercado613 yeah, sorry forgot to mention the name haha
Neat feature though
Great video as usual! Haven't even heard this elsewhere... But I gotta admit I hate how the iPhone illustration shown is a present-day version but the android was straight up from about 10 years ago. I guess showing a modern android phone with an edge to edge display and a tiny notch is gonna confuse the masses right?
This a great video!
It would have been more fair if you had chosen an iPhone 3GS mockup next to that outdated android phone.
hehehehe... if they added an actual 2021 android phone (with a similar price range as the iPhone), the iPhone would look outdated!!!
Better than the mess of Pixel 3 with notch situation that Apple used to show off Facetime in the browser
Imagine breaking up with someone because they use android... like bro its a phone who cares
@@thomasthedankengine993 Cringe //an iPhone user
This helped me so much
Great video.
That’s cool to know
Not useful though
Pretty dope video, thanks! But I think you could have also explained how do they turn back to blue…
blue : lifeless child
green: gigachad
SMS does support delivery confirmation but it's not used in modern phones
Sms supports delivery receipts but I just wish apple will finally get RCS support so all the people on android can see when you are typing or read a message and the pictures you send won't come out terribly
@Beats Beats Cringe
What is iMessage ? We have WhatsApp or Telegramm
@@Technikfix iMessage is an instant message service just end to end encrypted
@@linkgaming2144 but it's still proprietary bs and at this point there are sooo many IM's.. Even RCS is end to end encrypted and its not actually complicated to set up like this channel always says... It sets up instantly. We should have RCS become a minimum standard on phones at this point because giving Apple the ability to make messages sooo ass backwards if it isnt an iPhone even though carriers use the new RCS standard instead of sms is stupid.
@@ascalonex pot, meet kettle.
Yikes.
I would dispute the whole 160 character limit with SMS. Most Android texting apps don’t have that issue. Whether it’s Samsung messages or Google messages, they allow their users to text however lengthy of a message they want.
That would still count as multiple messages.
So limited message plans, or of each message costs money - that does get effected.
It's because they split the message to multiple messages and puts it together. Still a 160 char limit with SMS
Also if RCS is turned on, messaging from one Android device to another isn't actually limited
Come on you can do it you’re almost there at 900k subscribers
I just got the notification of the upload..
To bad apple does sponsor vids because you've definitely convinced me to switch with your channel
Really? I didn't like iPhones before I started watching this. Now I REALLY don't like iPhone. I just watch this channel for laughing at Apple plebs.
I know how this feels now as a new iPhone user as it really shows that you can’t send crisp new memes to your friends without them looking like shit or knowing that they don’t have any of the IMessage add ons to have fun
If they have a supported carrier and all of you use Android you can use RCS, the SMS equivalent of iMessage
@@planefan082 actually now carrier doesn't matter for RCS because google forced it by using google jibe directed as a service.
What is the background music called?
Another reason is the iPhone user on the other end changed their setting so it forces iMessage to send/receive as SMS text.
Who else came here after hearing drakes new album “texts go green” 😭
Same. I have an iPhone now but I’ve always been an android for the longest
Apple: *releases iblanket (yes I want that to exist)*
Apple Explained: "Your making this hard tim."
Also Apple Explained: "I can explain."
I've seen sms have delivered and read reports it requires carrier support but it's there sometimes.
One thing I found lately with the iMessage turning green is that often times it’s bad signal but when the recipient decides to text MY number the conversation is blue again.. it’s weird & it gives off the impression that I’ve been blocked since I tried calling them before & it goes straight to voicemail
I texted an iPad user with an iPad and it showed up green, he never blocked me
I owned two iPhones in the last two years and I only used iMessage like 3 or 4 times. In Mexico literally everyone uses WhatsApp or Messenger no matter which phone they own.
In all of latin america is like that. I don't know why people in USA still refuse to use it
Also in Europe, no one use iMessage
Yep in europe no one uses iMessage but I always write them with iMessage when I know that the person I’m writing has an iPhone cuz I prefer iMessage more than whatsapp, viber or any other messaging app
I try to push people on using it more often 😝
The real reason nobody outside the us uses iMessage is cuz iPhones are too expensive around the world so there’s less people using them hence they don’t use iMessage
@@lifeisshrt7929 yes u are right.. in Balkan most of the people having iPhones are either broken or old iPhones even that it’s 50-50 but still people don’t know which one is using iPhone so for example I speak with half on my friends on whatsapp and half others on iMessage

Meanwhile in China, everyone is on WeChat regardless of phone brand, and iMessage is more often used for spams (as far as I've heard of)...

The really annoy thing is when you try and send a picture via iMessage and it goes green. Meaning it’s sent as MMS and cost you 50p 🤣🤬
I had a job in the school system where I was in the teacher's lounges all day which are usually buried in concrete buildings. Wifi didn't work very well in there. In order to text my wife, I turned off iMessage, which meant "green bubbles."
When I got home, I got yelled at. I was not allowed to "green bubble" her. Why? It didn't look right.
Just don't send anything. If she asks, just tell her you didn't want to "screw up her text appearance"

Wasn't the google "messages" app compatible with iMessage?
both are great
Mine is blue but when I add someone new it’s green
I hate how when people show android phones they pick the worst looking one, when a s21 ultra looks way nicer than a iphone 12..
Or use other messaging alternatives? In my country every single person uses this horrible Facebook Messenger, but u gotta adapt t the majority. Or should i move to the US just cause of this?
SMS can show whether the text was delivered or not, at least on my Android phone and carrier. It can't show whether or not someone has seen the message or when they are typing.
Switch to apple? Hahahahaha good one
You can also turn an iMessage to a text message by pressing on the message till some features come up then click on send as a text message.
If someone refuses to date you because of your phone, then you just dodged a bullet there. Feel proud that your phone saved you from a toxic relationship
