Hi chayden64,


We'll be happy to help. They're showing as green because you selected to send as a text message. If the person you're sending messages to does not have a data connection currently, or has disabled iMessage, the messages will continue to send as normal SMS messages (green), rather than an iMessage (blue).

Cheers.
