You should get an iPhone and stop being left out.
- recursive 5y agoI wouldn't want to pay money to the party that created the problem in the first place.
- zarzavat 5y agoDon’t have to. Just buy second hand.
- behnamoh 5y agoOr find another girlfriend..
- smabie 5y agoBuying an iPhone sounds easier. But agree not exactly a good sign if they care about messages being green. That being said, I've had multiple tinder dates mention they don't go out with guys that have green messages since it's an indication that they are poor.
- stjohnswarts 5y agoThat filter works both ways. Who wants someone that shallow?
- kennethh 5y agoI think the status thing with IPhone is a big thing. The extend and embrace with IPhone and iMessage and SMS is almost like Microsoft did it. Wonder why Android not did the same thing?
- Zak 5y agoGoogle made Hangouts the default SMS client for several years and there were obvious benefits to sending Hangouts rather than SMS messages with it. Few people did.
- blub 5y agoLet’s be charitable and assume they meant that they are poor at picking a quality smartphone.
- thirdsun 5y agoI don't think she cares about the messages being green or any status implications that are attached to this color. However from what I understand iMessage groups basically break when there's a non-iOS device involved and suddenly everything reverts back to SMS/MMS, which sounds awful. In other countries we use cross platform messengers like Whatsapp to avoid that. Of course that brings a whole other problem set with it but that's a different discussion.
- fignews 5y agoThis right here. Additionally If you’re serious about making a life with someone it’s much easier when you have things like shared calendars, shopping lists, etc. There are many ways to do this but iCloud is easy and the aforementioned features are free.
- lostmsu 5y agoShared calendars are a thing with Google and sync with any device, desktops included. Shopping lists are shared on Amazon and most grocery store apps.
- solarkraft 5y agoThey're also cumbersome.
- tmp538394722 5y agoJust in case OP is susceptible to peer pressure, I want to offer that if you really love her, it’s OK if you have different operating systems on your phones.
- Zircom 5y agoHaha yeah I couldn't care less, I just thought it was a funny anecdote and it's probably not entirely just because of the color, that's just what she said when I asked her about it a couple years ago. And excluding me from the group chats and having her relay everything to/from me is probably for the best anyways, I'm terrible at checking my texts and my friend/family know the fastest way to get a hold of me if Im not replying is to text her instead :p.
- silisili 5y agoOr find a friend(or GF) that values you more than chat features...would be my vote.
