What does it mean when your iMessage says sent as text message?
Have you ever sent a message to your friend or colleague, but instead of the usual blue text bubble, you’re greeted with green. This is because your iPhone has sent your message as an SMS over your mobile network, rather than iMessage on an internet connection.
When my iMessage says sent as text message is it still received?
When an iMessage is sent, you can usually tell it is has been delivered to the recipient because the word “Delivered” will appear under the sent message. If the option to “Send as SMS” is turned off, the iMessage will not be delivered until the device is back online.
Does it say sent as text message if blocked?
When you’re blocked the message won’t even get to change from blue to green – it’ll just stay blue with no “delivered” or “read” message underneath it. When it changes to green, it means that a) you have “Send as SMS” turned on, and b) either you or the recipient has no data connection.
Can you tell if someone blocks you on iMessage?
Within iMessage, SMS will show as ‘sent’ or ‘delivered’. More to the point, if you’re messaging someone via iMessage and your text bubbles suddenly change to green from blue, it’s a sign they have blocked your iPhone number. The ‘sent’ versus ‘delivered’ badge may just be confirmation they’ve blocked you.
Can you tell if someone blocked you on iMessage?
How do you tell if someone has blocked you on iMessage?
The message sends as normal, and you don’t get an error message. This is no help at all for clues. If you have an iPhone and try to send an iMessage to someone who has blocked you, it will remain blue (which means it’s still an iMessage). However, the person you’ve been blocked by will never receive that message.
What does it mean if you send an iMessage and it turns green?
If your iPhone messages are green, it means that they’re being sent as SMS text messages rather than as iMessages, which appear in blue. iMessages only work between Apple users. You’ll always see green when writing to Android users, or when you’re not connected to the internet.
What is the difference between text message and iMessage?
IMESSAGE. A text message can go to anyone capable of receiving a text on their phone. iMessage (or Messages) is exclusive to Apple and can only happen between two Apple devices. You can tell the difference by looking at the color of the text balloons: green means just a plain old text, while blue is iMessage.
How do you use iMessage on a computer?
Here is how you can do it: Use the web browser to access iTunes on your Mac computer. In the search bar type ‘iMessage’. Download and install the app. Login with your Apple Id and you will be able to use iMessage on your computer very easily.
What does send as text message mean on iPhone?
It means what it said. The message was sent as a text instead of an iMessage, likely because the recipient didn’t have an internet connection at the time to receive it as an iMessage so the iPhone sent it as a text instead.
