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?

      When you text with iMessage/iOS you will get blue text bubbles from people who use iMessage/iOS and green text bubbles from people who use Android/other. I don’t have an iPhone so I may not be 100% correct.

      When iphones send sms to other iphones it’s a blue bubble. When iphones send to androids, it’s a green bubble. When Android users send sms, they can make it pink if they want.
