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?

    It’s more like a litmus test, imo.

    Several teenagers-in-adult-bodies use the incredibly minor inconvenience of green bubbles as class posturing - which is the kind of mindset that I will go out of my way to avoid.

    Or, for a small sum, you can either strengthen or wholly dissolve your relationship. A net win either way.

      Yeah, some people never grow out of high school.
