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 have seen so many instances of people who are happy with their Pixel or other Android device being forced to switch to an iPhone because the rest of their family uses iPhones, and it’s specifically because of iMessage. It’s really sad.

      I know with family people also greatly value “Find My”. Especially parents and their children. I’m very well versed in iOS and android as I’ve had both. Google Maps location sharing is ok but not the same as “Find My”.
