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 live in a country where the dollar value of iPhone makes them more of a luxury item, sought by people of means or by hipsters.
Most people here tend to communicate via WhatsApp. People with iPhones probably discriminate others for many other reasons before even reaching the bubble color for messages, so they self-select out of the lives of most people.
I live in the US and this was never a problem for me? If it is then these people aren’t really your friends. Think of it as a litmus test for finding friends.
iPhone user Most of the world uses Whatsapp, so this is a non issue for me
I’m not sure if it is possible for me to care less what type of phone somebody uses.
If I found out somebody was judging me based on my phone I would seriously consider breaking up with them.
I’m surprised and dismayed we are even having this conversation, and some of the other replies are deeply troubling.
I understand it can give some girls the ick. Try not to let them see your phone.
