Is text on iPhone green due to Do Not Disturb or blocked number?

thata why I was asking bc we've gotten into fights before and he's blocked me but it always sent as iMessage as normal he just clearly never recieved it. The texts going from blue to green have been going on since last night so I was just curious as to why it was doing that. Maybe his data is off?

That could be another reason too, however I would assume he would connect to wif if cellular data I turned off.

but who knows what the situation is on the other side, but I do know for sure that imessage is working as it should.

So what did the earlier user mean when they said that on iOS 8 it will attempt to send as iMessage but then send as a text but on iOS 9 it will look like a normal iMessage when sending but just never deliver? Sorry I have so many questions lol

I have no idea what that user meant. It doesn't correspond to anything in my experience. If you have Settings>Messages>Send as SMS enabled, when an iMessage fails to send as an iMessage, it will be tried again as an SMS. My experience is that this generally works as designed. But, again, it's not related to the person on the other end blocking you or putting you on DND.

To reiterate: There is no way, on your end, for you to tell if you have been blocked or if his phone is on DND in any fashion.

See my post above with the linked article. In iOS 8 it did try to send as an iMessage but then send as an SMS instead if you were blocked. Now with iOS 9 it will remain as an iMessage.

okay I understand now! I've always been on iOS 8 & when he's blocked me before when we got in arguments my iMessage still looked as normal so I was just curious as to why it was looking different

Again, nothing you've described gives any indication of whether or not you've been blocked.

I'm saying you can't tell. He may have blocked you. He may have run off with someone he met in the supermarket checkout line and be out of data coverage. Your issue is not a technological one. Send him flowers, write a letter, have a mutual friend talk to him. Apologized and make up. Or break up and move on.

Hey did you end up figuring out if you were in fact blocked? I'm having the same issue with things turning green only on one person.

There is a monastery that does not have internet service? who knew? how do they contact the boss when needed?

You can access Twitter via SMS.

UPDATE: this does in fact mean your blocked. Just experimented with a buddy of mine. So if your running iOS 10 and your iMessage turns into a green message your blocked.

So what happens if the messages are green but the phone still rings when you call it??

Ask your boyfriend if he blocks you when you've had a fight. Wait until you've made up.
