If you have an iPhone, whatever the model, you will surely have noticed that the text messages that your friends send you look different. In some cases, the bubble is a fairly pleasing blue color to the eye, but in others it is a very lurid shade of green. What is this about?
As revealed by iPadizate, a specialized technology portal, there is an explanation why the text messages received by iPhone users appear blue or green. The answer revolves around iMessagethe messaging platform that was developed by Apple itself.
YOU CAN SEE: Why shouldn’t you use alcohol or toilet paper to clean your cell phone screen?
According to the post, if you receive a text message on your iPhone and the bubble is blue, that means the other person is also an Apple user, since they’re using iMessage, an exclusive application for apple phones. What does green mean?
If the message that comes to you has a green bubble, that means that the other person has a Samsung, Motorola, Xiaomi, Huawei or any other brand that uses Android.
However, there is also a way that it is an iPhone user. In case you have used the traditional SMS function, instead of iMessage, when you receive your message it will be green.
If you don’t know iMessage, you should know that it is an instant messaging platform similar to WhatsApp, Telegram, among others. Not only does it allow iPhone users to send text messages, they can also send high-quality photos or videos.
At the moment, this platform is not available in the Google Play Store, since it is exclusive to Apple, that is, it is only compatible with iPhone, iPad, iPod touch, Mac and Apple Watch.
