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?
Iphone to iphone sms messages actually use some special apple thing (iMessage) and show up blue. Actual sms like to Android show up green
Wow, now that’s a deal breaker. I guess I’ll have to buy the iPhone I don’t even care about now.
Yes the only reason I know it’s because I’ve had to explain it to confused iphone users at work who get all precious when a message is a green. I normally run Android but my work phone is an iPhone (because it’s helpful to know them when you have to support them) and I just disable iMessage.
