This is because this service is integrated into the Messages app.

If you send a message using iMessage, you first need to find an Internet access point.

you could also use iMessage to send various media files, links, animoji, etc.

It also means that without an internet connection, you’re free to send messages.

In this case, you will have to switch to ordinary SMS and communicate with them.

So not all iMessage users will be able to text you.

This is relatively easy to do, but there are some limitations.

Among these limitations is that you’re able to only see mobile data usage.

Does iMessage free to use?

Also, a big question many users have is whether iMessage is free.

This is also because this service is part of the Messages program.

You dont have to worry about it because iMessage is entirely free.

It uses an Internet connection, so you dont have to pay for every message you send or receive.

You must pay for an internet connection or find a free access point to send a message.

However, as mentioned above, iMessage chats are intermingled with regular SMS chats.

you might tell them apart by two differences.

First, SMS will be marked with green messages.

At the same time, messages in iMessage are always shown in Blue.

Also, you should pay attention to the empty text box where you enter a message.

It will say Text Message or iMessage, depending on which service is used.

To do this, you have to scroll to the bottom.

Here you will find Low-Quality Image Mode.
