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?

      Googles standard is RCS, just like Apples is iMessage. Apple is never going to implement a competitors standard. And despite being open, not even all of android has adopted this standard. Only a couple apps have.
