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?
They can interact with their messages in more ways than others. Direct message reactions (like, heart) and they can see the dot-dot-dot when another iPhoner was typing. I actually had a girl give me a hard time over this because she was iPhone and I’m android.
As I said acting like a dick.
I’m on Android, I can see both direct message reactions,
...when people are typing, and see when people have seen my message.This is all a part of the text message standard that every modern phone follows.
Apple are the only major company that don’t follow the RCS standard.
I have an android and can react to text messages and see when other ppl do. I also see the dots when someone else is typing, but that’s only if they’re also on Android. To me neither of those features makes or breaks a phone for me.
I’m comfortable on the android platform and I absolutely refuse to spend a thousand dollars on a phone. NO feature is worth that much to me.
