Is having an Android really a deal-breaker for some people? - eviltoast

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?

    Yeah, that’s a problem with Meta and Alphabet. Everything collects so much data. I pretty much disconnected myself from Google (at least, the most I can with an Android phone and a gmail address). I’m always looking for ways to do better.

    Facebook and Messenger is a pain to uninstall with all the people using it. That’s like my only link with some family member.
