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 have apple products, including an iPhone. I was a lifelong android user who switched recently due to just wanting a phone that works. I always had issues with getting mobile hotspots to work and other small issues with android. With my iPhone things just work. I agree that the locked in environment is a bit restrictive but I’m willing to accept that for the peace of mind having it all set up brings.

    I don’t text, so the iMessage blue bubble thing is really not a deal for me. It just worked out right for me to go apple and I haven’t really regretted it.
