It’s kind of amazing it works. I’m not clean bubble anymore.
Has anyone else tried this?
Freaking brilliant.

Why do people care so much about the color of their bubbles?
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.
Only Apple fanboys care. I’ve heard from them that green bubbles are for poor people. It’s kinda funny they how brainwashed some of them are.
I’ve been using iOS for 15-20 years and have never heard anyone talk about bubbles. In fact, everyone I know has a 3rd party client installed to ensure chatting acrosd platforms is easy. If someone is giving you crap about the color of a bubble you don’t actually see on Android, they probably just don’t like you and are using the bubble as an excuse. They’re not worth your time. (Or they’re just joking around.)
It’s just strange to me that Android users have such a need to fix a thing that only apple users notice, and only Apple fanboys might actually care about.
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.
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.
No it’s apparently everyone is stupid but Apple users are extra stupid and anyone who says otherwise is a shill
Imagine someone cares more about the color of their bubble than proper end-to-end encryption.

This was badly written and passive aggresive for no reason, idk why I sent it
I thought the point of Android was that we don’t like to conform to the walled garden. Why is there such an obsession with jumping Apple’s fence? Might as well get an iPhone then
because teenager

I don’t talk to anyone via phone messaging, let alone Apple proprietary messaging.
Good for you. I’d love to get people onto cross-platform comms. XMPP today is functional on mobile. Hell, it was ten years ago.
Why are you here again?
Because the original post was aimed at people with Android phones
I have. Fails to login for me.
Same. Are you on a Micro-G based phone?
Care to elaborate?
I’m not clean bubble anymore.
I’m assuming you meant green. Are you aware that received messages on iPhone all look the same regardless of whether they’re iMessages or SMS? You were gray before and you’re gray now.
Yes, but the sent messages to them are blue.
Has anyone here actually met someone in life who cares about what bubbles you blow?
Yep. Teens in the US.
I go to high school
I’ll repeat it ad naseum, but of course it’s not about the color of the bubble. I don’t know how this keeps getting repeated, are people really that tech illiterate on Lemmy of all places? People who care about privacy want this for sure, not to mention anyone who wants to send pics or video in a reasonable quality or not be part of subpar group chats.
It literally could mean the difference of not having to use an iPhone for someone who really cares about E2EE messaging and has mostly iPhone contacts. And inbefore “but you could use WhatsApp or Signal, etc”, well yes you can but it’s only as useful as the amount of people in your contacts who also you it. I really do personally wish Signal gained more steam, but so few use it it’s pretty much useless.
Yeah. I get the importance of that, yet it’s really odd how every single article or post about this emphasizes bubble supremacy.
