Why do my text messages that I'm sending at times appear with a green background when normally they have a blue back ground....

Thanking you in advance for your answer....

@rockinbruce I know in my case where I have a new iPhone when I send an iMessage it’s blue when I send a message and the other person receiving does not have an iPhone or is not on Wi-Fi or data it is sent as a text which is green

Messages with green bubbles are normal SMS text messages. Message with blue bubbles are sent via the iMessage instant messaging protocol—a messaging platform specific to Apple devices. If you’re communicating between two Apple devices with iMessage enabled, you’ll see blue messages. If you’re communicating with any device that doesn’t use iMessage—like an Android phone, or an iPhone that doesn’t have iMessage turned on—you’ll see green messages.

@rockinbruce SMS AND MMS (green) are included in your plan and are free imessage (blue) will use your mobile data when you are away from wifi. If you are on a low data plan you may want to start using SMS and MMS only.
