I think "who's green?" is a perfectly reasonable thing to ask if up until that point you'd only seen messages in blue. It'd make me want to know why.

Beyond that though, really can't understand taking silly things like this to elitism levels.

I've literally never heard of "iMessage" before until this topic though, so I guess that itself shows how disconnected I am from this entire issue.

This has been a thing since like 2013 and it's not limited to teens. Eventually everybody I know switched to iPhones and their main reasons were iMessage and FaceTime.

Also a thing in the dating game since most women use iPhones and many will notice and even point it out.

Regardless, you can get an iPhone SE for $0-$400 and is more powerful than every budget Android to date, so price isn't really the issue here.

My distaste for Apple came about with the iPod nano. The device and software were ridiculously restrictive when it came to accessing the files on the device.

My personality just makes it difficult for me to give up control for the benefit of the ecosystem. It's part of why so many of my handhelds (and a console or two) run custom firmware.

Most of the people in my inner circle are on iPhones and none of them ever gave a crap that I'm on the dark side with Android. In fact, when my wife and I met, she was the one on Android and I had an iPhone at the time - spoiler alert, I didn't care either. Just goes to show how shallow teenagers are, as expected.

This. iMessage is purely a US thing. The majority of the world uses WhatsApp as it's cross-platform. Also, when it comes to media sharing, I'll just upload to some cloud service and share the link so that whatever I'm sharing stays in original quality. Or, I'll just send it over WhatsApp, which a surprising number of my contacts already have and use.

WhatsApp is literally Facebook and has a myriad of security concerns and controversy related to it. And it's 1.3 billion iMessage vs 2 billion WhatsApp, so it's more than just the US.

[LFAQs-redacted-quote]

I don't think it's about that. People just find it more convenient and want the people talking with them to have it as well. And it started more because you knew when someone was typing and obviously, the read receipts, but evolved beyond that since many turn all that off nowadays.

8 years ago. I mean, YouTube was independent too at one point. But most of its history is under Google's policies even though it was bought after worldwide popularity.

[LFAQs-redacted-quote]

I said it's brought up, not that it's a complete dealbreaker or anything, though I don't doubt tons do make it that. People are superficial over the smallest things with dating, so yeah, I agree that it's a minor thing to notice, but it doesn't mean people don't.

The reason I saw it more was because I'm switching my main number between iPhones and Androids all the time. So women would bring it up when it would turn green.

Not a single girl I've dated gave a fuck that I have an Android. My current gf probably wouldn't even notice if my texts suddenly turned blue.

The fact that Apple gatekeeps features is why I don't permanently switch to IPhone. I won't support shit like that.

Group chats are all kinds of fucked up if it's a blend of android/iphone. iphone reactions get sent to the group as "<person> liked the message <exact copy of message>" and any images/videos sent between the two get compressed to hell. Group chat works fine if you're all android or if you're all iphone, but the moment you blend them apple just makes the experience miserable for everyone.

and yea, it's mostly a US thing. iPhone ownership is also overwhelmingly a US/UK/Japan thing, while globally Apple has like 20% of the phone market and anrdoid is almost all of the remaining 80% so it's not surprising most people use something like Whatsapp.

Wait, apple's texting app literally marks messages from android phones as a different color? I wasn't aware of that lol. I have an android and my messaging app doesn't discriminate.
Yeah, its very obvious in a group chat. One android phone makes all the iPhone functionality get deconstructed into a text form. This is besides the blue/green color dividewhich can be a thing with iPhone to iPhone too if you turn off the iMessage.

It would have been nice if a more universal app became the world standard which Google could have done, but they kind of fucked it up by constantly changing their chat program, changing its name, offering other programs with similar features, and not making it the default texting app.
