The green bubble problem won't be fixed by Apple. I found an awesome setting that makes green text easier to read on my phone. I would like to thank you for sharing the steps.

If you send a text to a device that doesn't have iMessage turned on, it will look like a bright green bubble. It is obvious that you are not texting someone with an Apple device and losing out on things like smooth group chats. Green texts can be difficult to decipher, something that was pointed out on the "Get the Message" website.

The option to make green texts more readable is easy to turn on once you know where you want to look. This is how to do it.

Messages will appear on the Per-app settings page if you scroll down to the bottom of the accessibility menu. You can increase contrast by tapping it.

You can find the last conversation where you sent texts by going to the Messages app. Your messages will be a darker forest green, and I think it looks better.

A screenshot of a text conversation on iOS. The text message bubbles show up in two different colors of green.
Curiously, while writing this article, the normal and changed colors appeared in the same thread for me, which helps illustrate the differences. (Yes, this is my first variation of the joke I ended up using for our lead image.)

This setting increases contrast across the Messages app, so you can see a few other changes as well. I think I will keep increased contrast on for the green bubbles.

If only Apple added support for RCS. Maybe we will be waiting a while.
