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?

    Perhaps in the US but it’s not so pronounced elsewhere. I think I only know one person with an iPhone.

      But you don’t understand! The USA is the entire world! Everybody else in the world is just like Americans or wants to be!🙄

      I know five people with iPhones here. I interact with almost three orders of magnitude more people than five…

          About that, yes. Not in-depth and not each day, obviously, but I have quite a sizable crowd I deal with on a regular basis. Comes from having a lot of former students I keep in touch with.
