A green text message on your iPhone isn't a sign that your phone number was blocked, or that the text was not delivered. Instead, it means that the message was sent as a standard SMS message rather than an iMessage, which will appear as blue.
If the chat bubble is green, that could indicate someone has blocked you, especially if your chats with this person used to be blue. However, this is only true if both of you use iMessage on iPhones. If the other person switched to an Android phone, their bubble may have turned green (plus, they may have a new number).
If you send a message as a regular SMS in the green text bubble and you do not get a “Delivered” notification but instead get a notification similar to “Message not Delivered” or no message at all, that means you were probably blocked.
You may want to switch to SMS if there are issues with Apple's messaging system, or if you have an urgent message to send, but you can't find a stable internet connection. If you do this, all texts – sent to both iPhone and Android devices alike – will appear in green text bubbles.
The recipient is using a non-Apple device: If you're sending a message to an Android phone, a Windows phone, or any non-Apple device, the message will be sent as an SMS/MMS because iMessage is exclusive to Apple devices.
If it's green, it's an ordinary text message and doesn't offer the read/delivered receipts.
There are several reasons for this: -The person that you sent the message to doesn't have an Apple device. -iMessage is turned off on your device or on your recipient's device. To check if iMessage is turned on for your device, go to Settings > Messages > iMessage.
No, it doesn't mean that the text won't go through or hasn't gone through. Instead, a green text message on an iPhone is an SMS message that has been delivered to a phone that is not an iPhone or Apple device (ie. an Android).
If you have an iPhone and you use the Messages app to contact an Android, BlackBerry or Windows Phone user, iOS recognizes there's no iMessage at the other end and switches (downshifts?) into SMS mode. Your indication that has happened? Green word bubbles instead of blue. Make sure iMessage is activated.
Another way to know if someone blocked you on iMessage is to check the bubble color. If you see green bubbles, this means that your text messages are being sent through SMS, and they might have blocked you on iMessage.
Android users may determine if someone has blocked their number by checking notifications. If the “sent” icon changes to “delivered,” the receiver is likely not blocked you. On the other hand, if it stays on “sent,” there's a good chance they have blocked your number.
Their status appears as “unavailable” You cannot send them any messages, and if you try, you will get a message saying that the user is unavailable. If you try to call them you will hear that the number is busy or unavailable. If you search for them and get no results.
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.
If an Android user has blocked you, Lavelle says, “your text messages will go through as usual; they just won't be delivered to the Android user.” It's the same as an iPhone, but without the “delivered” notification (or lack thereof) to clue you in.
When you block a phone number or contact, they can still leave a voicemail, but you won't get a notification. Messages that are sent or received won't be delivered. Also, the contact won't get a notification that the call or message was blocked.
The best way to know if you're blocked on iMessage: call them to see if you go to voicemail with one ring or less. You can also check text message delivery status or other social media or messaging apps to see if you've been blocked.
Where do people get this impression that green means you're blocked? There's no way to tell if you've been blocked as far as I know.
A green bubble simply means you are sending her a message through cellular SMS communications. It does not mean you're blocked. It's on for iMessage.
Since Android and other carriers operate within the SMS and MMS standards of text communication, these green texts are more versatile in who they can reach with their texts. Blue messages, or iMessage messages, are compatible within the Apple ecosystem. Apple backs up all of these messages.
Toggle switches are white (when off) and green (when on). The 'On/Off Labels' feature adds a '0' (zero) to the toggle switch when it is off and a '1' (one) when it is on. This can make it easier for anyone who may have difficulty distinguishing between the two based on colour alone.
