Confused as to how sometimes yours or others text messages show up in green and sometimes they show up in blue?
It’s ok! We got you. See, blue is for iMessages, green is for SMS messages.
This, in turn, means that the green messages are sent as a proper old fashioned SMS, but if there’s internet connection available over WiFi, your messages will be sent for free over those connections, otherwise known as iMessage. iMessages can also be sent over 3G if you have Data turned on.
iMessage works on iPhones, iPad and iPods, however it will only work between iDevices.
The world of text can be an intimidating and confusing one.
Tone, intent and, well, the ability to spell can all be lost in translation when considering the great communication tool that is texting.
Hence, welcome to the first part of our iPhone Tip Of The Day, texting edition. First up – timing!
You know, sometimes you just really need to know what time you sent that text to Billy to tell him that you really like his new Tricycle.
And maybe you weren’t paying attention when you sent it because your heart was racing too hard because what if Billy naturally understood that when you said you liked his Tricycle you really meant you want to hold hands? And now you might have sent him the message at the same time as Stupid Cathy from next door and we all know what Cathy likes.
Life can be hard.
But never fear, we’re here to help! To find out what time you sent a message swipe from right to left in the message stream and a time will appear next to each message.
