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?
If you are in a friend group that does group messages then maybe. It can get pretty annoying
Can you please elaborate more on what is annoying? I’m genuinely curious and I confused. Thank you!
Images get compressed and sent super tiny. Replies to specific texts start entirely new message threads. If someone leaves the group the whole convo stops and your in an empty new message history. Reactions come through as text replies and don’t specify which message it was in reference to. Etc…
Holy smokes…that is annoying. Why in the world would Apple do that to their phones and customers?
It’s mostly a problem with SMS. But yeah it would be awesome if they’d meet Android halfway and adopt some of the RCS stuff
Genuine question: How is it annoying? Green, blue, and white/black are nice enough to look at, and I’m sure you can change the background/style (at least you can on Android).

I see. Thanks for the response.
I guess this is a great reason to move to Telegram which just works, no reaction/reply confusion.
