If you are in a friend group that does group messages then maybe. It can get pretty annoying

How old are you?

i only use android. if someone disciminate you ofr a stupid bubbles color. wth you do with that person???

My fiance favouring apple over android is certainly a character flaw, but ultimately one I'm willing to overlook.

We use FB messenger to communicate, anyway, so I don't think phone OS has much impact.

Doesn't really matter to me what device my friends use. But as someone who likes to try apps and different configurations, as well as FOSS, using an Apple device is a deal-breaker for me.

Apple is deliberately not supporting the global standard of RCS for exactly thai reason. They want green bubbles to stay.

Dude… let it go. Seriously. You’re clearly trying to drum up some drama. It doesn’t matter what people use. It doesn’t effect you at all. They will use what they want, and you will use what you want.

And I’ve read that post. You’re fishing from conflict there as well, but most of the responses were well thought out reasons for using the product- you just didn’t like/agree with them. So now you’re here trying again.

If you have such a hate-boner for apple, don’t use apple.

Deal with it.

In US it's stupid trench warfare of blue vs green message. As an Android user I have had to explain MULTIPLE TIMES that this is not about Android's lack of capabilities but rather the unwillingness of Apple to use RSC. Almost always my explanation falls on deaf ears.

I've never met someone like this but have heard its a thing for some.

Is this actually a deal-breaker in friendships out there?

I think this is one of the most ridiculous, cringe-worthy things I have read in a long ass time.

I also have to say that I have no idea how anyone puts up with iphones. I have both and the iphone experience from a UI perspective is just awful. Yeah, the screen is nice, the battery life is good, the camera is excellent, but holy crap is this phone infuriating to use. You can get Android phones with just as nice hardware, but then you don't need to deal with that terrible iOS user interface. How is this such a popular device, I will never understand it.

Also, why the FUCK is the iphone so goddamn heavy?! It is smaller than my Samsung and noticeably heavier in my pocket. Just everything about this device is annoying.

My best friend has an iPhone. I'm a Samsung girl. Any time her phone doesn't let her do something I poke fun at the iPhone, but in reality they are just different versions of the same thing. The only real reason I have to complain is the price tag. I'm not paying double for an item that does the same thing as the cheaper version. That's just stupid financially. It's not a better product because it costs more. I can live without whatever it offers that android doesn't.

I’ve found in my experience that texting android folks from my iPhone usually ends up with some sort of text delivery issue. Which can be both iPhone and androids fault by not playing nice with one another, most likely Apple being elitist fuckers BECAUSE of the blue/green bubble superiority war

I have friends who, against better counsel, have android phones, and the group texts were forever breaking. I finally brokered a deal for us to use Signal, which has been great. So (1) Android users in a group text on iPhone is a super pain in the ass, and (2) If everyone's using Signal, it's cool.
