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?

    It is a pain in group chats. That one green bubble means the chat falls back to basic text. That means I effectively cannot send a video (possible, but unusable quality).

    At that point I would rather use something like WhatsApp. Which is fine if everyone in the group has it. At least it is cross platform.

    But I am seriously considering buying my sister, who has a cheap husband, an iPhone just so she does not mess up a family group chat.
