When it comes to this kind of stuff (and no, she doesn’t have a phone just yet) with my 13yo I work in the space of not being concerned about others passing judgement for superficial BS like this. We have a saying in our family, “Rejection is Protection”. She actually has the opposite problem, cut off from texting with her Android-toting peers because iMessage on her iPad only clicques up with other Apple users. They work around it in some cases by others relaying appointments for gathering f2f, or by not having contact with certain kids except when they serendipitously cross paths irl. And it’s ok. She doesn’t suffer FOMO because she experiences missing out on things and recognizes she’s still ok.
