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?

    American Android users are part of the problem, because they refuse to use messenger apps and cling onto SMS as well

      that’s because other countries have affordable data & available wifi…

        iMessage also runs on data/wifi. So I don’t think, this is really about affordable data and more just stubborness from the Android side.
