Contact name is green instead of blue

When I search for a contact, who is an iPhone user, and their name is green in the “To:” bar, does that mean I’ve been blocked?

No. It means that the message will go through as a SMS message. That contact may not have setup iMessages.

There are many reasons why you may not receive feedback, including:

  • User is in an area out of cellular reception.
  • User has powered their device off.
  • User has their device serviced.
  • User is using Airplane Mode.
  • User has blocked you.


While it is happening, you can call and leave a voicemail message for the user.


I sincerely hope you can contact the user.


Good luck! 👋🏼😁
