How do I change Messages bubble color from green to blue?

[anon(19759)]

Just like the title says, how do I change the Messages bubble color to blue? I can't find the setting for the life of me. Thanks!

UPDATE 3/19/22 - Must have been an update last night, because all bubbles are back to blue, regardless of who and how I'm texting with. Very happy about this!

Is there a Chat setting to turn on in the Messages app settings?

There is an on/off switch for chat in Messages, but the bubble color does not change whether it's on or off.

Do you know for sure if the other person also has Chat turned on? Both of you have to be using RCS for the bubble to be blue.

Your using Google messages?
You can't change the color grey/blue

Can you post a screenshot of yours ?

I'm sorry, I should have been more specific. In all my messages, whether I'm using Chat with another Galaxy user or texting with anyone without Chat, the bubbles are green. Is that standard now on Galaxy S series? Because I've owned numerous Galaxy S devices and the bubbles have always been blue, with or without Chat turned on.

So it looks like green is the new default color with no option to change.

Right, but what I've already stated is every Galaxy S I've ever owned has been blue bubbles, SMS or RCS. Even texting with iPhone owners, the bubbles were always blue. Now they are green. And it's ugly.

Was it because past Galaxy phones use Samsung Messages, and the S22 comes with Google Messages by default? Maybe Samsung Messages always used blue by default.

Also, which carrier are you on? If it's T-Mobile, look at this: https://9to5google.com/2022/02/25/galaxy-s22-google-messages-rcs/

No, I've used Google Messages app for years. I'm on Verizon.

Hmm that's a head scratcher. Regardless of the blue or green, are you able now (and were you able on previous phones) to see typical RCS features like the typing animation?

Same for me. I use the samsung messages app. Not google messages. And on my old phones I could change the color of the chat bubbles and now on my new S22 Ultra i can't change the color. I have looked many times to see if its hidden somewhere and i can't find it. I don't like the color green, at least this color green ... Its ugly .

Yes, I can see typing activity. So weird.
