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?
It’s bewildering to me how this continues to be an issue only in the US, the rest of the world figured out this problem around 2010, and I’m not kidding. It’s like you guys are still arguing about Beta vs VHS in 2023
It’s so exclusive to the US that I didn’t even understand what OP was saying before reading the comment section for clues.
Blue bubbles, green bubbles? Wtf is that and how is it related to Android/iOS.
For reference, I live in South East Asia and use Android, but I have never heard my friends using iOS complain about some kinda bubble colour.
Can you ELI5? I’m reading the comments and still not comprehending what’s going on here.
I think the SMS app on iPhone marks messages sent from an iPhone as blue, and the rest are marked as green.
OP is saying that their iPhone-using friends judge people by the colour of messages. Which is idiotic and completely unheard of over here in my country.
European here. I only know about this from a video I saw some time ago. Android user, obviously
