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?

    Excuse me. i don’t know what i’m saying but i havent had any green or blue bubbles yet in my life. i guess you’re referring to apple’s messenger? i don’t like that term, but i think people who just believe in iphones (without thinking any further) are sheep. you get nice cloud services, a clean ecosystem and colored bubbles, but little to none control over your device, privacy and a skewed perspective on other people. Idk. Just don’t let your phone define you and your friends. I won’t. And i won’t accept friends who define friendship by the operating system on somebodys phone.
