If you and your friends use iPhones, you probably know what iMessage is.

Its a messenger service that Apple made.

It is automatically built into the Messages app and is available on all Apple devices.

However, since iMessage is automatically built into Messages, users sometimes run into problems because of this.

For example, not everyone understands why they get green messages instead of the standard blue ones.

If you received a green message or the message you sent turned green, you shouldnt worry.

Lets find out why this is happening and what you could do about it.

If you received or sent a green message, it is a problem with a non-functioning iMessage.

Either you or another chat participant won’t go with iMessage.

It may also be because you are offline.

In this case, the messages you receive and send will be marked in green.

And in the text field where you have to enter text, you will see Text Message.

It means that you have sent a message using the iMessage service.

This message is sent over the Internet and is completely free.

In addition to this message, iMessage has many other valuable features.

In addition, it’s possible for you to format the text of the message in different ways.

For example, you might cross out part of the text or hide it behind a spoiler.

In this case, the text field will be displayed asiMessage.

One of the most valuable features in iMessage is undoing messages and editing after youve sent them.

Of course, there is a time limit here.

All of these features will not be available for text messages.

Also, the only prerequisite for iMessage to work is an internet connection.

I advise you to put your primary phone number here because other users will write to it.

In this case, your iPhone will automatically send a text message instead of an iMessage.

This may incur additional costs since each SMS is sent at the rate of your cellular operator.

So you have to be careful when you enable this option.

You will only be able to receive green messages.
