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?
Why would anyone send SMS?
that’s the point. green bubbles are sms, blue bubbles are imessage…
The world would be a better place if everyone used Discord
SMS is far more reliable in rural conditions with marginal signal. Often I can’t make a call, but I can send and receive SMS. Fat chance I can get any data-driven messaging app to work. Also, with SMS I don’t have to worry about what the recipient is using - it always works.
What the hell is wrong with SMS?
It’s the default way to send messages, and it’s unlimited on my plan.
