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 wonder if an apk version of iMessage exists out there
Doubtful. Apple never wanted it because why give non-Apple users access to an Apple product? One of the Apple execs said it was never a possibility.
