Extended data:

IMessage is a communication software developed by Apple. It is not just a simple SMS function, but a tool that can send text, pictures and videos to iOS devices or Mac devices through the network.

When both the sender and the receiver are in the network environment, the information sent is iMessage by default. If both parties have turned on the iMessage function, and one party is not in the WiFi environment and the signal is poor, the system will automatically switch to send SMS.

After the information is sent, the more intuitive judgment method is to look at the color of the sent information. The blue one is iMessage, and the green one is SMS. In addition, the sending type is also displayed above the sending time of the short message, and the font is relatively small.

In addition, you don't need to charge SMS to send iMessage, you just need to spend some traffic in WiFi environment. Generally, WiFi is used by default. If there is no WiFi, iMessage will send data via cellular mobile.
