Set up iMessage and SMS/MMS
With the Messages app, you can exchange messages with other SMS and MMS devices
using your cellular connection, and with other iOS devices and Mac computers using
iMessage.
iMessage is an Apple service that sends messages over Wi-Fi or cellular connections to
other iOS devices (with iOS 5 or later) and Mac computers (with OS X 10.8 or later).
These messages donʼt count against your messaging plan. Messages sent via iMessage
can include photos, videos, and other info. You can see when other people are typing,
and send read receipts to let them know when youʼve read their messages. For security,
messages sent via iMessage are encrypted before theyʼre sent.
iMessage texts appear in blue bubbles, and SMS/MMS texts appear in green bubbles. For
more information about SMS/MMS and iMessage, see the Apple Support article
