iMessage allows users to send texts, documents, photos, videos, contact information, and group messages over Wi-Fi, 3G or LTE to other iOS or OS X users, thus providing an alternative to standard SMS/MMS messaging for most users with devices running iOS 5 or later.
iMessage also allows users to set up chats with more than two people -
a "group chat". However, the group chatting features do not integrate
very well with members in the group who have a different type of phone.
To use iMessage
How can I tell if I am sending an iMessage or an SMS text message?
- Before you begin text entry, you should see "iMessage" in faint grey letters in the text entry box.
- The "Send" button will be light blue when sending an iMessage (as opposed to green for text messages).
- The bubble that contains your sent message will also be blue (again, as opposed to green for text messages).
If you're seeing "Text Message" or green buttons and bubbles, you're sending a standard SMS text message and not an iMessage.
