It means the message has reached their phone. They may or may not have seen it.
Other questions on this topic we're answered with the following: Green= SMS ✅ Blue= iMessage ✅ Grey= “All incoming texts” ❌
This will also happen if you send a text to a non-Apple device, like an Android or Windows phone. Grey is just the color of incoming texts. When you send to someone else who is also using iMessage, as long as there is a good network connection (Wi-Fi or cellular), it should send as a blue message.
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.
Send them an iMessage
A red flag that you've been blocked is when you don't see the delivery status or the read receipt at all. The message you just sent will still be in a blue bubble, but it will have no delivery status below it – not even a "Not Delivered."
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.
You may have noticed that the text messages in your iPhone's Messages app can appear as either green or blue. The difference? Green messages are ordinary SMS text messages, while blue messages are using Apple's proprietary iMessage format.
Short answer: Blue ones have been sent or received using Apple's iMessage technology, while green ones are "traditional" text messages exchanged via Short Messaging Service, or SMS. Does this matter? In the grand texting scheme of things, should you care whether your messages are blue or green?
For green messages, the texts that are sent are compatible with a wider range of phones and receiving services than blue iMessage texts. 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.
Grey Contacts using the Messages app? This means you cannot text them. If the contact is green you can send them MMS/SMS and blue contacts mean you can send them iMessages.
Your old messages remain blue, but the latest texts you send after they've blocked you turn green. However, the bubble colors aren't accurate clues. They could mean the recipient turned off their phone, gone offline, or switched from iOS to Android.
SMS is available on virtually every phone and tablet in the world. iMessage on the other hand is available only on Apple devices. But one of the major differences and in fact, the most important is security. iMessage texts contain a thing called end-to-end encryption that regular SMS texts don't.
The message doesn't bounce back. You can continue to send messages to the recipient. Therefore, an iMessage sent as a text message does not immediately indicate that your number is blocked by the recipient. There are other reasons why your messages show up as green bubbles when you send them.
The hex code for Apple's space gray color is #808080.
No, messages will not send green when you are blocked. If you are blocked by someone, all attempts to contact them will go unnoticed. Your messages will not be delivered to the person you have been blocked by, and there will be no indication that the message has been sent.
Blue Colored Bubble: This is the color for iMessage, which are messages sent using Apple's proprietary text-message service to an iPhone, iPad, or Mac. 2. Green Colored Bubble: This is the SMS color, which means that any user can receive SMS messages (Apple or Android).
If you see a green message bubble instead of a blue one, then that message was sent using MMS/SMS instead of iMessage. 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.
Delivered means delivered. If your message has been blocked, you will never know unless the recipient tells you you are blocked. The only difference may be if their device was set up to send Read Receipts, if it suddenly just starts saying "Delivered" that means they either blocked you or they shut Read Receipts off.
The person you're texting has turned on a Focus Mode.
This could mean their phone is on Do Not Disturb, they've enabled Sleep mode, or they're using one of their iPhone or iPad's other Focus Modes.
Call your contact back with a masked number.
If the call goes through like usual--e.g., five or more rings--then your contact has blocked your number. If the call still stops after a ring or less and diverts to voicemail, your contact's phone is dead.
The issue of message sending disabled error happens mostly due to a third-party SMS app. Your phone is using another SMS app as the default messaging app. You need to either change the default SMS app or use the app that has been set as a default to send messages. There are three ways to change the default SMS app.
When you call a number that has blocked yours, you may hear one or half a ring or no rings at all and then the call will go to voicemail. If it goes straight to voicemail, their phone may also be off or out of range, or they may have temporarily turned on Do Not Disturb mode to work, drive, or sleep.
