    As someone who uses both iphone and Android… Both use green bubbles. The imessage bubbles are green of you are using celular instead of internet to send messages.

      Blue = iMessage. If it’s green, it was SMS, soon it will be RCS. When you don’t have a strong internet connection, depending on your settings, messages will revert to SMS. When you see the green, even if it’s to another iPhone, it is NOT iMessage and is NOT secure (sms is sent plain text)

    Even if you don’t understand the blue bubble thing, (aka not in the US), arcs is still important as it’s much more secure than SMS, so one time codes from banks and other things should be harder for hackers to get.

    With the announcement of RCS for iOS. I would actually appreciate the option to change the colour of my chat bubbles. If something is sms or iMessage, it usually says so above the first message or if it decides to switch because of something like signal strength

    No, it just means that Android messages will show a few more things (like read status).

    But the green and blue colors will remain because iMessage supports more iOS-specific features.
