iMessage Green Bubbles

It's sad but true. Green bubbles means you're poor or lower class.The only valid complaint is messing up iMessage group chats which are much better than SMS group chats.- Proud Android User

This is a wonderful project. It highlights how silly Apple is. For those defending the existence of green bubbles, why don’t we swap blue with green then? Would you be okay with all your iMessages in that ugly green while your SMSes with Android friends are in calming blue?I am typing this on an iPhone 15 pro max and I have several MacBook pros (M3 Max on the way) and everyone in my family has their own iPad.I hate that Apple has created this thing where some folks ostracize others because

Yeah, I had to google it too:"If you see a green message bubble instead of a blue one, then that message was sent using MMS/SMS instead of iMessage. There are several reasons for this: The person that you sent the message to doesn't have an Apple device. iMessage is turned off on your device or on your recipient's device."So apparently iPhone users see text messages from us Android users in a green bubble instead of a blue one. And apparently they've be

It's not the "ugly green bubble" that people hate, and ostracize others because of. It's the limitations of SMS messages coming into an iMessage group chat that can mess up the whole experience. Media is crappy, group messages don't work well, it's not encrypted. That said, It doesn't justify people being jerks about it. And yes, if the colors got swapped it would turn out the same - nobody cares about the color. I grant that the blues chosen probably have a br

There are people who get iPhones just for iMessage. They don't want to be the one person who puts the entire group chat into "green bubble" mode. People accuse Apple of doing this intentionally, but you know, it's not their fault SMS is terrible; even Android users tend to use WhatsApp or something for group chats.

Imo, the people who have an issue with green bubbles are mostly teenagers trying to fit in. Besides that, its also about how android users can't join imessage group chats, media sent between platforms over sms/mms is extremely degraded in quality, and facetime is a worthy apple service that android users don't get.

I wonder if this isn't so much for convincing people to switch to Apple so much as giving people a greater attachment to Apple. I use an Android phone, and I didn't even know that the iphone showed a difference between iMessage messages and SMS messages. So the color doesn't have an effect on me.However, if you have an iPhone and don't like the green bubbles, you become a sort of brand ambassador -- you'll both have a greater chance of staying on iPhone (because you a

When two phones with iMessage enabled text each other, the texts are blue and the experience is better-- the texts are more responsive, have read receipts, high quality videos/images, games, and more.However, when one of the users does not have iMessage (almost always the case when one person uses android), the text messages show up as green. Since these conversations cannot make use of the above features that you have with iMessage, and along with this, the texts have a green color to t

Cannot tell if this is satire. But if you're serious: https://www.theverge.com/2022/9/8/23343336/apple-tim-cook-im... This issue only exists because Apple stubbornly refuses to join the standard because showcasing how bad Android functions in iPhone Group chats sells iPhones. If they joined, every

As others have said, SMS is fully interoperable up to and including groups and MMS.Your problem comes from that fact that Apple cleverly introduced way more capability in the very same Messages app, for other Apple users only.None of the complaining like yours would be happening if Messages was left as SMS only and apple had shipped a separate iMessage app, which is exactly what Whatsapp is. But there's Apple's forte. They have Bluetooth, but buying Airpods automagically works be
