It’s less about blue bubbles and more about functionality. I don’t want WhatsApp as my main messaging app. And I can’t get critical mass on Signal. And sure as shit not FB Messenger or Telegram or Snapchat…. Even if Apple made all chat bubbles blue, I’d still get ultra low shitty videos from my “Android friends” sending a clip and not thinking about SMS limits. Maybe it looks fine on their end. On my end, get the magnifying glass out. Or having too many people on a text thread? Wtf? Is this 20 years ago? I also don’t get the hard core Google defensiveness thing. This is a company that mines everything they can get from you to sell ads to you…Who notoriously cancels services or fails to execute fully on them. Google Chat/Talk/Voice was confusing. Which do we use? And what about that bizarre email experiment? Voice is my favorite Google product by far. I don’t use Chrome for privacy reasons, but admit I’m stuck on Gmail. I tried to de Google my email, and then realized that having my email off of Google was cool except so many people I email were on it, so they have it anyway… I don’t really care if your chat bubble is green or blue or red. I just want it to work with whatever I’m sending and be encrypted. SMS isn’t. Carriers retain. Why subject myself to that?
