I'll never get over the "green bubble" stigma from iPhone users because it's bananas to me that Apple deliberately degraded its own users' messaging experience and they responded by getting mad at Android users for simply existing instead of demanding a fix from Apple.

And btw Apple finally did give in and add RCS last year which adds 90% of iMessage features so at this point if you dislike green bubbles you're literally getting mad at a color.

Apple and android messaging? Or is it just a difference I colour?

It is now a difference in color, but up until a year ago anyone with an iPhone got downgraded to SMS when they messaged an Android.

But yeah I only see stuff complaing about green bubbles in American stuff. I never understood it.

Americans tend to use whatever comes pre-installed on phones because we are by and large fundamentally uncurious people

I won't disagree but I feel it isn't my place to say anything more. At least not now. And it's an entirely different conversation all things considered
