A friend of mine explained why it’s important to his kids: they can’t chat with a group of their friends.
Why? Because parents don’t want to install WhatsApp or other group chats due to legitimate concerns about scammers, pedophiles, and other child predators. SMS chat fills that gap, but it breaks horribly for groups bigger than 10 people. Hence if some kid is on Android, they break their chat. Given the penetration of Apple devices, it’s the kids with Android who are considered at-fault. “Just get an iPhone!”
Welcome to anticompetitive practices targeted at your children.
Its not thr colour its because with media that isnt apple to apple conveniently downgrades quality. Its why so many apple people believe androids have shit cameras.
Huh. When I communicate with Android friends, I just don’t use iMessage to make sure communication is solid. That’s an Apple problem as far as I’m concerned, but good on Android users for finding a way to make things a little nicer for Apple users I guess.
Why do people care so much about the color of their bubbles?

Why not just use a different chat app? I have like 3 installed to accommodate people from different regions.
Edit. The very next reply answered this. Sorry.
I try to get everyone to use signal with varying levels of success
It’s not about the color. It’s about not destroying photo and video quality or breaking messages into multiple parts and sending them out of order.
This Android app fixes those issues? That’s actually really impressive!
Sigh.
Again, because it indicates the quality of the connection and degraded functionality on iPhone. It makes group chats less functional.
So to Apple users it’s an easy way to see it’s going to frustrating to deal with.

No it’s apparently everyone is stupid but Apple users are extra stupid and anyone who says otherwise is a shill
