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?

    Yeah, it sucks. I wish there was a third (viable) option, because the only reason I have an iPhone is that my only other option is Android, and I fucking hate Google. I know there are de-googlified versions of Android but I’m really not comfortable doing that (not because I don’t trust them but because I don’t trust myself not to completely fuck it up and brick my phone). I fear there will never be another option though.
