Answer 1

It seems you have to check if the state is UIGestureRecognizerStateRecognized to change the Chat bubble's color,

if (longPressRecognizer.state == UIGestureRecognizerStateRecognized) {

    // Change Chat bubble's color to blue
}

Answer 2

check color to red when long press gesture begin condition

if (longPressRecognizer.state == UIGestureRecognizerStateBegan) 
{


    [self becomeFirstResponder];
   // change image from  here
    //NSIndexPath *pressedIndexPath = [tblOutgoingMessagesRecords indexPathForRowAtPoint:[longPressRecognizer locationInView:tblOutgoingMessagesRecords]];

    NSIndexPath *pressedIndexPath = [tblOutgoingMessagesRecords indexPathForCell:(UITableViewCell *)longPressRecognizer.view];
    if (pressedIndexPath && (pressedIndexPath.row != NSNotFound) && (pressedIndexPath.section != NSNotFound)) 
    {
        [self becomeFirstResponder];
        NSLog(@" Presssed on Copy ");
  }
}
else  if (longPressRecognizer.state == UIGestureRecognizerStateChanged)
 {

    //load original  image here...

   }
