Is having an Android really a deal-breaker for some people?
Is having an Android really a deal-breaker for some people?
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 have the opposite problem... I have family members and friends try to send me pictures and videos from their iPhone's over SMS ALL the time.
They are, like, 40 pixels wide and in the case of video they are literally unwatchable and unidentifiable.
They usually then act put out and irritated with me and the other android users when we need to ask for a link instead. IPhone users can sometimes be such complete idiots... I love these people, but Jesus Christ, guys...
I usually ask if they have an alternate messenger, like Telegram or even FB Messenger. Nearly everyone has something else y'all can start chatting on instead of SMS.
In the case of family message chains, it's impossible to convince them of this. They can't be bothered to find a solution that works for everyone. My immediate family is mostly iOS, so me and my partner just have to deal with this bullshit every time a message goes out.
I've explained the problem, but they don't want to install a second app.
Apple has openly admitted to this being a marketing tactic. They are creating tensions between family and friend in a bold and clear attempt to sell more product.

There's one such thing from my family on facebook
im not on facebook, so i'll often just be texted by a random family member: "Remember to bring X to <event>"
wtf is going on?
