Question about iMessage/Text bubble colours.

[Scott M]

Hi all

I know blue = iMessage and green = SMS.

And sometimes when an iMessage is struggling to send, it eventually turns green and underneath it, it'll say "sent as text message".

But recently, I've noticed that sometimes it doesn't turn green, yet it'll still say "sent as text message" underneath it.

Here is an example:

Is this normal, or am I experiencing an issue?

Um... As long as the other person gets the message I guess its fine

If it's 'Sent' that is fine. I think either the recipient or you are having signal/data problems.
