Why Are My Android Messages Light Blue?

On Android devices, light blue messages indicate that the message is being sent via SMS/MMS protocols, while dark blue messages are sent using RCS (Rich Communication Services). The difference in color helps users distinguish between the two types of messages. RCS is a newer messaging protocol that offers advanced features, such as typing indicators and read receipts, compared to traditional SMS/MMS messages.
