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?

    One of my acquaintances started a fairly large group text thread recently. Somewhere along the way someone said, “Who’s the android user in here ruining everything?” I never said anything in the thread, so I felt like I was in the corner of a crowded room wearing a disguise about to be exposed.

    I was also pretty annoyed. Like, what’s it matter? Texts are for text. Text works fine.

      If an android user is in a iMessage group chat it breaks a lot of the built in functions.

      Not your fault, but it takes away a lot of features people use in group chats (at least from my experience)
