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 had not cared about it until a few minutes ago, when I read another top post about the girl who got an abortion being outed by non-encrypted messages on Facebook. Since iMessages are encrypted, but sms is not, I could understand iphone users wanting to switch to another platform after realizing their friend is an Android user.
