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?

    I believe it’s because green text messages used to function worse. It used to be that images and videos were lower quality and you couldnt react to txts.

    Now green texts are more up to par with data driven messaging apps. I don’t know if people realize that yet or not. Also, unfortunately, of course there were people that it was a status issue. I don’t understand that.
