Green/blue bubbles is just a simple way to say sms sucks. Besides those stories about teens getting social pressured, all anyone cares about is basically just sending photos that don’t look like they were taken 20 years ago.
Yes but Apple has convinced a large swath of them that they must have an iPhone to be able to have any conversation with friends simply due to the conveniences of iMessage.
They also went out of their way to make SMS conversations harder to read the text by making the green just annoying enough of a color that it actually makes it harder. There are other things but that’s the gist.

The entire Fiasco is mostly US only. Rest of the World have different apps that dominate in individual regions like WhatsApp, WeChat, Viber etc.
I honestly don’t understand it either. As of yet I’ve never had an Apple device and I am unlikely to buy one in the future
Basic shallow and easily impressionable zoomer bitches
Especially among teens, yes
American teens. It’s not the same around the world.
In the US, for sure. I have been just flatly if ored when they found out I didn’t have an iPhone, and I was just not included in group conversations.
