is it possible for the IOS 26 to make the chat bubbles different colors than blue? kinda tired of the same blue color. is it possible to get that version for the new update?
IOS 26
Blue chat bubbles are part of the design language for the Messages app, and besides that, they have the effect of showing you that a message is an iMessage not an SMS, so they're instantly recognisable as an Apple iMessage and it's unlikely that Apple will change this.
You could suggest that all received messages could be whatever colour you choose, say black background with white text, but that loses the differentiation between the message types.
However, you could suggest to Apple that you should be able to change the colours based on the type of message, e.g. you might want orange with black text for an SMS, and purple with white text for an iMessage, thus keeping the differentiation.
It could be not only for aesthetic purposes but also because of a visual requirement, and perhaps they'l allow such customisations.
Colour blindness is already covered in Accessibility settings, but it doesn't allow the changing of the bubbles as you'd like.
