Understanding iMessage vs SMS

Text messages on iPhones appear in different colors to signify the messaging format used. A blue text indicates the use of iMessage, an Apple-specific messaging platform that utilizes Wi-Fi or cellular data for delivery, offering greater security through end-to-end encryption. Conversely, a green text signifies an SMS message, which is a more traditional texting method that is compatible with both Android and iPhone devices but lacks the same level of security. This distinction is significant not only for understanding the technology behind messaging but also highlights the compatibility and security differences between various messaging services.
