If you’re logging in on your Mac or iPad, and you receive the SMS to that device, you can autofill the code without needing to open the message at all. Whenever you attempt to sign into a service with SMS-based two-factor authentication (or 2FA), you’ll receive your 2FA code as a green bubble text. Not only that, receiving green bubble texts on your Mac or iPad can be essential for logging into accounts. But I digress: Green bubbles exist, and we still need them for texting other people. In reality, a green bubble really just means an SMS text from a non-Apple phone, and they wouldn’t have the poor reputation they do if Apple adopted RCS. They mean no iMessage, no (easy) FaceTime, and a wrench thrown into the group chat. On the iPhone, “green bubbles” are trouble. But while iMessages tend to find their way without issue, “green bubble” texts often never appear.
If you’re working on your Macor watching Netflix on your iPad, it’s a much more convenient to keep up with conversations on the same device than to constantly pick up your iPhone. Putting your iPhone’s Messages app on your Mac and/or iPad was a great move on Apple’s part.
