My husband and I share a Verizon acct. we have the same model iPhones. I've been texting him and suddenly the text went from iMessage to SMS and won't deliver! Anyone know why that has happened???
iPad Pro Wi-Fi + Cellular, iOS 10.3.3
If you see a green message bubble
If you see a green message bubble instead of a blue one, then that message was sent using MMS/SMS instead of iMessage. There are several reasons for this:
- The person that you sent the message to doesn't have an Apple device.
- iMessage is turned off on your device or on your recipient’s device. To check if iMessage is turned on for your device, go to Settings > Messages > iMessage.
- iMessage is temporarily unavailable on your device or on your recipient’s device.

Why would iMessage be turned off it temporarily unavailable? Also do you need wifi for iMessage?
My iMessage has suddenly reverted to SMS. Anyone know why that would happen?
