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?

    Maybe the post has been edited between when you posted and now, but that’s not what OP is saying.

    He’s saying that people don’t want to use SMS. They want to message him via some other platform.

    Honestly, I’m the same way. I don’t like SMS and talk to my friends on Android via WhatsApp.

    Especially for group chats of any kind, SMS is garbage compared WhatsApp, Signal, or Threema.
