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 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.

        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.
