Contacts blinking sometimes after sending a message. Hi, i’ve noticed recently that often when i send a message the circle at the top at the top above the persons name which should be a photo is blinking. This happens on both imessage and normal sms. My first thought is it’s probably a software issue but i’ve been getting anxiety that possibly it could be a security issue. No one i know has the same and i can’t find much information online other than an unanswered reddit question if you could help thanks!

Messages showing green rather than blue since ios 18.3 and Sequoia 15.3 upgrades I am experiencing strange behaviour on the Messages app since upgrading my Macbook to Sequoia 15.3 and my iPhone 13 to ios 18.3. A breakdown of what is happening: Messages to some contacts are fine - receive messages in blue, send messages in blue (fine, working as before) Messages that I am sending to some contacts which were previously showing in blue are now showing in green (issue A) Sending messages from my Macbook shows the same issues - apart from I also can no longer send any messages to myself (show as 'Not delivered'). (issue B) When I talk about showing in green / showing in blue I am talking about the background colour of the message in the messages app, which I believe shows blue when messaging another iphone / apple id, and green when not. I could not find any info on issues A and B when searching just now, could anybody help with this please?

Notification silenced question On iMessage conversations, the “has notifications silenced” of some contacts are in purple and other are grey. What does that means? If someone has the focus on, what is the difference?
