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?
My impression is that most Americans are happy with default phone text messaging apps, even though rich messaging features between iphone and android don’t work properly (because Apple makes good products but also blows goats). The first thing I think about Telegram is Denis Davidoff, the Ukrainian youtuber, and the second thing I think about Telegram is that it is what US extremists used to coordinate the January 6th insurrection on the US capitol.
