Why are some contacts blue in the Message+ app?

[AC Question]

I have the S6 and when I go to compose a message in the message+ app, my recent contacts shop up. But some of the contacts are in blue writing instead of black/gray.

Also, if I click on the contact name once I am in the message with them there is a message bubble and a phone, giving me the option to text/call. For some contacts, the message bubble is blue.

I am having this same thing happen. I know this is old but I cant find this anywhere else. What does it mean?

I have always wondered about this, but never seen an answer. Has anybody discovered the answer yet?

Just a guess: If the "message+" app is the messaging app from your carrier, the blue marking is probably an indication that these contacts are with the same carrier which allows the app to use extra features like showing you when they are online or showing them as "typing" during a conversation.

From what I have found on Google that it's because whoever has a blue dot on there picture when you go into your messages are using their Google account and/or using there messaging apps also... So basically it tells you when your contacts that have Samsung phone when they are using there phone....
