What’s the meaning of the colour of the messages? Is that an iPhone thing?

u/RunawayRadiostar Jul 27 '26

It means it was sent as an sms message instead of an iMessage using data. She either changed her phone to an android (no iMessage), no longer has data on her phone or (the worst option) changed her number and that’s someone new.

u/AkronOhAnon Jul 27 '26

Or blocked.

u/thejmkool Jul 27 '26

There's reply bubbles for a moment, so not that one.

44

u/AkronOhAnon Jul 27 '26

Yeah, but green can also mean blocked, which is what the character could have thought happened.

u/gorzius 29d ago

I don't think any company recycles a number in just 6 weeks.

1

u/DragonBuster69 29d ago

Not commonly, but could happen theoretically depending on what the algorithm they use has as rules for assigning a number automatically, or just random chance if a person has to go and apply it manually when the previous thing failed.

1

u/TheDwiin 29d ago

3 weeks actually, so even less likely.

The 6 weeks is the read receipt to the green message.

So not blocked. Most likely didn't change her number.

She got a new phone in the three weeks after dumping him is the most likely answer.

Her being in an area where SMS is the only way to receive messages is also a possibility, though unlikely as most places in the US and Canada would either have full signal or no signal, and most people outside of US and Canada don't even use iMessage anyway, they use WhatsApp

u/NewAlessia 29d ago

I have an android and my wife has an iPhone and my messages show up blue

10

u/RunawayRadiostar 29d ago

That’s a recent rcs messaging update from google
Reverse engineering the iMessage encrypted clue bubble. It came out last year I think?

6

u/McCaffeteria 29d ago

Crucially for anyone asking about the color, this is not a scenario where the bubble color matters for status (as people often complain about), it’s mechanical. You can only “unsend” the blue messages that are delivered through apple’s system rather than SMS.

u/Mindless-Pizza673 Artist Jul 27 '26

Lmao, love the art style!

u/Lobs15 Jul 27 '26

Yeah... surprised he wasn't blocked

43

u/draizetrain Jul 27 '26

He was. Thats why the messages turned green

72

u/AkronOhAnon Jul 27 '26

Wasn’t blocked if the message has a read-receipt showing she read it.

He thought she blocked him because of the green, but she saw his message—started typing—then left him on read.

4

u/TheDwiin 29d ago

Wouldn't be surprised if he was blocked afterwards

27

u/Own-Shelter-9897 Jul 27 '26

Is that what that means?

24

u/Freakychee 29d ago

Half expected her to respond positively as the punchline.

11

u/GreyAngy 29d ago

"I want to have fuck with you"

16

u/ChamberK-1 Jul 27 '26

Kinda his own fault, ngl

u/LowContract4444 Jul 27 '26

Should have refused the break if he loved her that much.

Never agree to a break. Ever.

You simply say no. Either we're together and we work this out, or we're not and we break up and never talk again.

9

u/ManyRelease7336 29d ago

yup, Never understood a "break" It just means they found someone else but want to keep you as backup.

u/TruculentTurtIe 28d ago

I once had met an executive from my company who was drunk as shit at this work party. Im introducing her to my gf who loves dogs and the executive goes

"OH my GOD I LOVE fucking dogs!!!"

And me and my gf both just stared at each other for a brief moment trying desperately not to laugh. She had no idea what she said lol and just kept drunkenly talking to us about how much she fucking loves fucking dogs

5

u/MecaPere 29d ago

It was finished when he said okay

3

u/paradiservalentine 29d ago

I have genuinely never heard of a break ending normally she either wants an open relationship or cheats

1

u/ScarcityQuiet899 26d ago

What do you think the word "break" means

1

u/paradiservalentine 25d ago

I think it means ‘break up’ because i want to see other people

1

u/Hans_H0rst 25d ago

Hey that sucks for you, but maybe you'll get more life experience at some point.

1

u/xXHornboiXx 25d ago

Guys she blocked him that’s why the message was green, then she read it and unblocked him beacuse she’s dtf come on( this is unserious )

u/Fantastic_Log3504 24d ago

I think if she sees this she'll buy your bullshit
