Leave it to Apple to embed perceived socioeconomic status in its damn text messages. I don’t really even know what a green text is, but I can assure you I’ll never send one.
No, what you’ll not send is a blue text if you use Android
Edit: to clarify, iPhone shows texts from Android as green messages and from other iphones as blue. There are some side cases where iphones can send green texts but not relevant to the discussion.

Are gen z likely to be uniformly iPhone users?
That’s like the most conformist thing that I have ever heard. The study results are that 21%(F) 25%(M) find having an android phone is a green flag in their partner, while 7%(F) 6%(M) have it as a red flag, so it’s not that bad as far android/iPhone is concerned.
Its an iPhone vs. Android bullshit metric.
If you dont have an iPhone, you’re not a cool kid and viewed as “poor” despite many android phones being comparably priced to iPhones.
I’d say this is one of the few things I side-eye Gen Z about.

Is this an American thing? I’m Canadian, my kids are gen-Z, and I asked them about this and they hadn’t heard of it.
Must be. It’s a weird form of classism.
Outside the US they’re probably using WhatsApp or something else aside from iMessage.

I think if you let someone that thought a green text was a red flag, they just flagged themselves as a red flag.
