I asked if people chose iPhone for the blue bubbles elsewhere a couple days ago, and while there was some good discourse on that post, the blue bubbles definitely also came up as a reason.
In my experience, when people find out my texts are green, they oftentimes would rather switch to a different platform altogether like Instagram or just not text at all.
Is this actually a deal-breaker in friendships out there?
The heck are blue bubbles? Is this post about some fancy soap?
For some reason the US hasn’t moved onto platform agnostic chat apps like whatsapp in the same way the rest of the world has. As Iphones are the biggest brand out there and apple won’t play nice between imessage and standard texting protocol, android messages coming though on imessage chats look out of place and annoy the septics using them who’d rather ignore their android using friends and family than just move to a new app.
