Allegedly (I can't confirm, since I use Android) in imessage, non iphone users messages show up in green speech bubbles, while imessage users are blue (or grey?

  That’s not quite right. Anything you send shows up with a grey bubble. Doesn’t matter how it’s sent. Anything you receive by SMS shows up in a green bubble. Anything you receive my iMessage shows up in a blue bubble. Obviously only Apple users can send iMessages, And Apple devices default to iMessage if they detect that the other user is also an iMessage user. iMessage is end to end encrypted, supports higher quality videos and pictures, sound clips, reactions, read status, little apps (no one uses this), reactions, effects, longer messages, and probably other things that I am forgetting. Most crucial he, EVERYONE in a chat has to be on the same protocol. Obviously this is easy when talking one on one, but it becomes a big issue when talking in a group. In a group of 100 people it only takes a single non-iPhone user to cause EVERYONE to fall back to SMS.
