Other than blue bubbles, why do you use iPhone? (lemmy.world)

Yes, I'm the one in the group DM that turns the bubbles green, I'm sorry.

But other than that, I don't hear many other reasons why people actually prefer iPhones over Androids. What other reasons are there?

Iphone-to-iphone using iMessage and are blue. Iphone-to-SMS are green. Grey in an inbound message irrespective of source.

    What difference does the colour of the bubbles make though? Or am I missing an in joke?

    Literally everything. iMessage is a real messaging app with all of the bells and whistles. Blue means all of the features you want will work. Green means SMS, which is garbage.

    iMessage gets you end to end encryption, read receipts, reactions, larger media sharing, functal group chats, and more.

    RCS solves some of the shortcomings of SMS but it’s not a feature that Apple supports.
