You know it's funny, I use android and I've never seen a single green bubble. Weird, huh?

[–] ThunderWhiskers 16 points 1 year ago (1 children)

My bubbles are purple and gray!

Mine match whatever colors my screen background is. They change whenever I change the background.

My bubbles can be any color I want them to be and I change them weekly according to my mood.

On Android, you can make the bubbles any color you want.

‘course, people would get over color pretty quickly.

By default with no prior coordination, iPhonies expect:

  • High-quality photos/videos
  • Renamable group chats
  • Typing indicators
  • Read receipts
  • One-click group audio/video calls
  • Shared names & contact photos
  • Stickers
  • Screen sharing
  • Message reactions (good improvement, Android, here)

They can also expect:

  • Use over WiFi, free internationally
  • Apple Pay & iMessage app integration
  • Messaging from other devices or via voice
  • Encryption

If you’re not in North America, remember, we haven’t all agreed it’s easy to use What’sZuck or secure to use Signal. Convincing users to adopt a particular messenger is work for the more technical, the more opinionated - and whoever convinced you to download one app may not have convinced that girl at the bar to download the same one.

Apple is aware kids get left out of group chats in the US, but lets them get bullied for profit. Support next-generation interoperable messaging Tim! The collective time and mental power exerted on evaluating different messengers, remembering which group chat is on which platform, and on this debate must be staggering.
