Given yesterday's temporary iCloud outage, it's probably a good time
for a refresh on how to send an iMessage as a text message. Apple
colour codes messages in different ways: green for regular text (sent
via your mobile carrier) and blue for iMessages (sent via the
Internet), so it's easy to tell which is which.
Normally, all you'll need to do to send an iMessage is write out a text
and press the blue Send button. During an iMessage outage, you may see
a set of red exclamation marks next to the messages you've tried to
send. These exclamation marks are telling you that messages were not
sent, and you can tap on them to retry – it's worth trying this,
because sometimes messages will go out on the second try.
However, during an iMessage outage, iOS isn't always intelligent enough
to know that the service is down, so the messages you send will appear
to take forever to send – after which point iMessage will tell you that
it has failed you. You can bypass this by tapping and holding on a
message that is still being sent and choosing to Send as Text Message,
as in the screenshot above. The message you tap on will then be sent as
a text, and will show up in green when delivered.
That's all there is to it. Hopefully this will help people out next
time there's an outage (which could well be tomorrow).
