- snowwrestler 3y agoNope, it means SMS vs iMessage specifically. > If you see a green message bubble instead of a blue one, then that message was sent using MMS/SMS instead of iMessage. https://support.apple.com/en-us/105087 https://support.apple.com/en-us/105087 > iMessages are texts, photos, or videos that you send to another iPhone, iPad, iPod touch, or Mac over Wi-Fi or cellular-data networks. These messages are always encrypted and appear in blue text bubbles. https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT207006 https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT207006
