How do you tell if a text is iMessage or SMS?

How do you tell if a text is iMessage or SMS? I read the forum discussion about how to stop these texts but I don't know how to really tell which is which. I am now getting 10-15 spam texts a day! Blocking the number doesn't seem to help much. Apple may say they have no control but this started after the last update so there has to be some correlation.

Thanks!

iMessages are blue, SMS are green.


We all get text spam. There is no correlation between an iOS update and you receiving spam. It's more likely your information is in the wild and being used.
