However, there is another reason why texts turn green – an Android user engages in one-on-one chat or group chat. This often leads Android users to be blocked from group chats or even intimidated. Google called on Apple to resolve the issue by adopting RCS on its iDevices. RCS is advertised by its supporters as the successor of SMS, it has many features that we expect from chat applications that just do not work well via SMS / MMS. Left: iMessage • Right: Messages sent via SMS are displayed in green RCS allows users to send and receive high quality images and videos, display typing and reading proofs, and respond. It works via Internet connection (mobile or Wi-Fi) and supports encryption. The proprietary iMessage protocol does these things too, but is only available on Apple devices. When chatting with an unsupported device, the app switches to plain SMS for text messaging and feedback and sends images and videos via MMS (which is an old protocol and compresses files to a tiny size of a few hundred kilobytes). These messages appear in the dreaded green bubbles. POSTSCRIPT. Here is the song in question, The texts turn green: Source Via
