Is having an Android really a deal-breaker for some people? - Lemmy.world

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?

This is so American…

“Let me send an SMS, while I ride my horse to go to my bank and do other things that people used to do in 1870.”

“Oh, their SMS color is different! I dislike people with a different color than me.”

I was about to say. Over here 90% of text communications are over WhatsApp. That’s a huge problem for a variety of reasons, but everyone is green bubble.

It’s weird to say but I’d much rather us keep doing this stupid SMS thing before jumping into bed with anything Meta.
