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 care not because of elitism but because videos sent via MMS from android to iphone are postage stamp quality, texts sent from iphone to android frequently contain emojis that the android user can’t see because androids have like two or three places you need to go to update the core functionality of the phone, and half the android userbase only knows about one of those places. It’s a severely impaired experience, and it’s apple’s fault (I have an iphone). My girlfriend is on Android and for any kind of multimedia beyond simple pictures, we switch over to meta Messenger (she picked the app, I hate all things meta).
