    It strikes me that if you don't reply to an inbound text message in iMessage, there is no way to tell if it is an SMS or an iMessage.

    SMS is green, and iMessage is blue. You don't need to reply to see that.

    I've gotten both.

    'S all gray on my iPhone.

    I seem to have two types. Some are also grey. But they still say what it is. I'm looking at one on my phone now for Michael Kors handbags that's grey. But at the top of the iMessage, it says—iMessage. It's small type, but it's there. Gives the date below it.this one was for. Mon. Aug 4, 1:16 PM

    So colored or not, you know what it is.

    Yes, of course.

    Then I don't understand your comment. I replied to someone who used the term "a few hundred" and who stated it was a non-issue. I even said I believe the number of people that have received iMessage spam is at least in the tens-of-thousands.

    Ah, I see. Never noticed that before. So if it says Message at the top, it's an SMS, if it says iMessage, then it's an iMessage.

    Thanks for the tip.

    Did you know you can slide the message bubbles over to the left with your finger to see the timestamps appear on the right?

    I did; my ignorance has its bounds. But thanks for checking. ????
