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?

    Yeah, I know. Almost all other countries do though. I just don’t appreciate the fact that Android and iOS are not equal when it comes to messaging in US. It almost makes me think I’d have to buy an iPhone alongside my Android to have a good experience there. And that’s just dumb. But tbh I’m not thrilled about moving to US anyway and will hopefully never face that issue unless I go there for a master’s degree lol
