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?
Well, there are many who use whatsapp here. But it’s definitely not universal.
Don’t you guys get like an incredible amount of spam via SMS? It became kinda like email but worse.
I can’t block the short numbers companies use to send SMS because they are usually using a third party SMS service. So, different companies can send messages that arrive with the same number. If I block an SMS ad, I might be also blocking an important SMS alert from my bank warning some security issue.
really spam texts i don’t remember getting many of those. i do get auto text for things like deliveries and check deposits but not spam
