Welcome and thank you for reaching out. 🤗


Your messages are showing green because they’re being sent as SMS texts instead of iMessages, which happens if iMessage is turned off, the recipient doesn’t have iMessage or there’s no internet connection.


If you need more help, contact Apple Support directly.


Thanks again for reaching out. 👍🏼


Good Luck! 👋🏼😉
