The green/blue divide is culturally silly, but useful in certain use cases. Cross-platform group chats can sometimes be wonky, for example.

Exactly. The color doesn’t bother me, but some of the features do. Group chats, read receipts, iMessage games/game pigeon, photo quality are all non-existent or janky between iPhone and Android.

Well, apple has been refusing to fix that on their end. Google has been begging them to, of course for their own self interest but it would be good for us.

The rest of the none american world uses other messaging apps like Whatsapp which have no issues working with different platforms. Apple is just holding Americans by the balls.

Yeah, it isn’t literally about the color of the bubble, it’s about what the bubble represents: a less seamless text conversation with less features.
