Y are all my messages sending as text messages
iPhone SE, iOS 16
Hi mazzi256,
welcome to the Apple (user-to-user) Community.
Re: "Y are all my messages sending as text messages"
Could be any one of various reasons ..
eg: have you tried restarting your iPhone (re-establish the wi-fi connection, delete temporary files etc),
or
(if you hadn't already) updating to iOS 16.5 (security updates, bug fixes etc)
and
are you sending to iPhones / Macs etc., or Android phones, or both.
Generally Messages sends iMessages over wi-fi (blue bubbles)
and
Messages sends SMS/MMS Text messages to Android phones using cellular data (green bubbles)..
or
Depending on your settings, if a wi-fi connection is not available, all messages may go via cellulat
