Just kinda curious do you guys ever run into issues of lacking imessage (like your friends unwilling to use another app) or is it just a over blown issue.

I've never used iMessage and don't know anyone else that does. Could someone explain why it seems to be such a big deal for some people? Especially considering all the news about Apple clamping down on it working on Android. The whole green vs blue bubble doesn't make sense to me personally.

This is how I learned about it. Afterwards, I talked to my teenage nieces who are both on Android and they confirmed that it's definitely a thing.

FYI, there's a recent video that also touches on the recent news about this stuff. Posting it for you since you seemed to like the last one. No affiliation with MKBHD or Nothing Phone here, just sharing something I found interesting. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ji5HwS3bhlU
