Getting bored with iMessage's blue text bubbles? By default, iMessage doesn't come with a feature that lets you change the text bubble color on your iPhone. However, there's a cool, free app you can use to achieve the same effect.
So, if you're interested, keep reading ass we'll teach you exactly how to change the iMessage color on your iPhone with the Super Messaging app.
About the Super Messaging App
Super Messaging is a free iMessage app you can download from the App Store. Through Super Messaging, you can change the text bubble color on your iPhone with various shades and tones. You can even customize the font style and color of your text!
The minor downside to using the free version is that all your iMessages will be sent with the Super Messaging app logo next to the text bubble.
But if you want your message to remain as texts (and not stickers) while having access to lots of free customization options, Super Messaging is one of the few good apps you can use to change your iMessage color effortlessly.
