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?

    @Transcendant @BURN I do the same with Telegram. My issue with whatsapp was the file size limit and that if my phone was no longer available i’ve lost it all

      Good point… I had to do some wrangling back and forth between devices just to get some old messages screenshotted. I know I could back it up to the cloud but I reaaaally don’t want to do that. Telegram is a good shout, guessing the file size limit is much higher there?
