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?
I myself use an iPhone, but I don’t at all look down on people who use android.
Hell, I love android and really wish I could use android phones. But I have had several unfortunate occurrences on my two android phones I owned in the past - OS bugs, buggy apps, OS that slows down significantly after one year, dropped texts, dropped calls, dropped voicemails, the list goes on.
Android (in my experience) was incredibly unreliable. Ever since getting an iPhone I haven’t had any of those issues.
What brand were the phones? That makes a huge difference.
Motorola Droid Razr Maxx and Samsung Galaxy S5
I understand that these devices are from years ago and things may have changed since then, but I have friends who still run into odd OS glitches on their new Pixel phones
I have a Pixel now, it’s pretty great. I used to manage Samsungs for work and I absolutely hated them. Samsung tries to replace as much Google stuff with their own crappy stuff. I’ve never touched a Motorola. I now manage iPhones for work so I see all the weird problems they can have too.
They both have their pros and cons.
Try Pixel, they are reasonably priced and in my opinion offer great user experience.
I’m on a Pixel right now and it’s pretty much the same experience. I nearly missed a time-sensitive job offer had I not been using my iPad a few moments before going to bed. My phone didn’t serve the notification nearly all day despite being given permission to do so!
