- RobotToaster 4y agoA good case could be made that apple are deliberately encouraging cyberbulling with it.
- rootusrootus 4y agoThat's a stretch. To begin with, you can't even see the blue/green difference until you actually send a message to someone. All received messages are gray. And even without the color, you instantly know the difference between the two -- one tells you it was delivered, the other one is a shot into the void.
- Jcowell 4y agoNo you can detect if a number is iMessage by putting it in the sender tab of a message. If it’s iMessage-able then it will turn blue.
