Blocked

the other day my friend had blocked me and then unblocked me, a day later my messages turned green and they couldn’t receive my messages but i still receive their messages. how do we fix this ? because they have already unblocked me yet for some reason we haven’t been able to text again because they aren’t able to receive any of my messages it just sends as a green bubble as if i was blocked even though i am not blocked.

iPhone 13

Blocking and Unblocking does not turn the Message bubbly to change colour from Blue to Green or vice-versa.



iMessage (Blue) -

  • iPhone to iPhone: requires internet (Either over WiFi or Cellular Service) as it is sent over internet protocol. Needs Activation on your device.
  • iPhone to Android: Not available



SMS/MMS (Green) -

  • iPhone to Android: does not require any internet it is sent over cellular voice protocol. Needs to be enabled by your Carrier for the SIM used by you.
  • iPhone to iPhone: When iMessage is not activated or the device is not connected to the internet either over cellular or WiFi
  • You need to have an SMS/MMS plan enabled by your carrier for the SIM/eSIM that you use on your device. Apple Inc does not provide SMS/MMS services.



It will turn from Blue to Green if you have enabled "Send as SMS" and whenever your iPhone is not connected to the internet it is sent as SMS (green) to all iPhone users.
