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.
For stupid or vain people, maybe. And only in countries where people send SMS anyway.
I haven't used SMS actively ever, because as soon as smartphones got popular, everyone moved to Facebook, and then later I got my friends to move to Telegram if they wanted to keep talking to me.
It wasn't as binary for me, but as soon as them tried it none of my close friends ever deleted it. Makes life much easier.
I mean I still have a Facebook account and I will eventually respond to messages on Messenger, but anyone who wants to talk to me regularly, knows that Telegram is the way to go.
I don't always use E2E because most things aren't sensitive, but I'm happy to always have the ability.
I very rarely use e2ee, the convenience is just too great when you're able to respond from any device. I don't think I've ever met anyone that uses Messenger, maybe just regular Facebook messages like 7 years ago but nothing more than that haha
dude i remember using all the time before smart phones. Great way to keep in touch back then 555 for one letter.
