Why do incoming iMessages show grey?
I recently added a second phone to my lineup, a 12 Mini in addition to my 12 Pro.
Since setting up the new phone, my incoming iMessages show as grey on the Mini.
Other questions on this topic we’re answered with the following:
Green= SMS ✅
Blue= iMessage ✅
Grey= “All incoming texts” ❌
The last bit is not only incorrect it’s nonsensical. The strange thing is that I’ve seen the same answer across a number of forums, Apple & otherwise.
I’ve rebooted & reset the phone, carrier settings and have toggled every service I can—no luck.
All incoming messages, regardless of origin (friends with iphone, friends with Android, etc) all show as grey.
