Group iMessage changed from blue to green - individual message to same people is blue

I have had a group text with 4 people for several months. They were in iMessage and were blue. Suddenly at the beginning of August they turned green. If I text each of the individuals directly the messages are still blue. The problem is with the group text to the same people - why is it green when it’s to the group but blue to the same people individually????

iPhone 6s, iOS 11

Hi Ckb66404,


Thanks for posting! Sounds like your group iMessage changed into a group text message even though everyone is using an Apple device, do we have that right? Is it possible that a member of the group accidentally turned iMessage off temporarily or had a network connection issue? Does it only happen with this group of people?Does it continue if you delete the current thread and recreate the group? You can see more information about the types of group messages here: Send a group text message on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch.


If this continues after recreating the group, confirm everyone's device is up to date: Update your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch


Hope this helps!
