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?
You're viewing a single thread.
I've never seen any blue or green bubbles. What messenger are you talking about? Will you really tell me there are actually people out there, using a basic built-in messenger ... for 90's SMS or MMS?
The problem is that in the Apple cosmos the messaging app doesn't use SMS or MMS, so people use it to communicate quite a lot. Once you use it to message someone on Android though it reverts back to SMS/MMS. Same is true for group chats. 5 apple users are fine, but if you add a sixth person that uses Android the whole chat group goes back to the 90s. Including super pixelated images etc.
It's a stupid system designed to keep people in the Apple sphere.
The message app on iPhones. Yes, the built-in Apple apps on iOS are generally pretty good and people use them.
