Do IMessages use cellular data or Wi-Fi?
I'm a bit confused to the difference between an IMessage (between two iPhones) and text messages. Can someone please explain? Do iMessages use cellular data or only Wi-Fi, when it's connected?
IMessages are sent using data. This can be Wi-Fi, or mobile data such as 3g or 4g. It's a bit like Kik Messenger or WhatsApp, but for apple devices.
- Why is my Iphone not sending as Imessages and receiving iMessages from one person? I'm texting my wife and we both have iPhone's and she is getting the messages as an iMessage but the ones I'm sending her on my end show up at green. Sometime it will go as blue, get the little red exclamation point then send as regular SMS. I'm texting someone else too and she has an iPhone, and she is getting mine as regular iMessages and mine are sending as regular iMessages. Why aren't they sending to me wife as iMessages?
- Why does my iphone use data over night when cellular data is turned off? Every night I turn off cellular data and leave the iPhone on and one day I wake up and check my data manager and see i have already used 25 MB please help!
- Why can't I use cellular data on my iPhone 5c? I've had my phone for a while now and since yesterday I have not been able to use my mobile internet, I tried to update to 7.0.4 and I have not been able to connect still.
- When you have Wi-Fi and cellular data on at the same time, does it use cellular data? If I keep my cellular data on and also have my iPhone connected to Wi-Fi, will it use any of my cellular data?
