Frequent Question: Why Are Some Messages Dark Blue and Some Light Blue Android?
Contents

Why are some of my sent text messages light blue and some dark blue? This is Android message’s way of indicating whether the message is being sent via RCS or SMS/MMS protocols. The darker messages are RCS. … The color doesn’t change after the text is sent.

What do the different colors on android text messages mean?

One color means it’s a chat (sent over wifi) and the other color means it’s a text ( sent over mibile data)

What does dark blue text message mean?

Light blue means they’re being sent by standard SMS/MMS and dark blue means they’re the new RCS format which Google just rolled out (kinda like Apple’s iMessage format but the 2 aren’t actually compatible with each other).
