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?

    I use SMS in Denmark with people I don’t know personally. Apps like Telegram or WhatsApp aren’t common here (yet) unfortunately.

    Everyone has Facebook and uses Messenger. The absolute worst of all the choices…

      I would never install any of the Meta shit apps no matter what. I quit FB in 2017 and never looked back

        I’ve tried many times to convert my non-techy friends but it’s impossible.

        It’s hard to argue with “literally everyone I know uses Messenger”.
