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 they don’t want to text you because you don’t have an iPhone they’re not friends you want to have.

    I think this must be a cultural thing because no one in the UK sends SMS messages. Everyone just uses WhatsApp or signal or telegram. I’m android and have literally never had anyone mention the colour of my bubble. I didn’t know this was a thing!

    I’m not sure if it is possible for me to care less what type of phone somebody uses.

    If I found out somebody was judging me based on my phone I would seriously consider breaking up with them.

    I’m surprised and dismayed we are even having this conversation, and some of the other replies are deeply troubling.
