Yes in fact they are. I have the amazing ability to recognize a problem even if I don't have it myself. If you really can't do that, perhaps you should try.

Yes in fact they are. I have the amazing ability to recognize a problem even if I don't have it myself*. If you really can't do that, perhaps you should try. * Android user in the US where this dynamic primarily exists, but I just don't care because I'm not 20 any more. I only very occasionally need to send a video or picture to anyone, and in those cases, I know enough to use email or a google photos link or something, which probably annoys the recipient a little and makes me weird to them, but I'm just ok with that since I know where the blame really lies. Similarly in the occasional times I txt with family members or friends, we're not in high school and so they don't care about my green bubble, and I just accept the annoying stupid extra txts I get that say "x smiled" or whatever. That ux don't bother me in the sense that I don't spend any time thinking and caring about it, but that doesn't make it not utterly stupid and ridiculous, and especially so when you know it's a deliberate act and not an honest technical limitation. Astonishingly it's possible to both recognize that something is not worth investing much care over, and recognize that it's wrong and that it's a deliberate wrong commited by someone and not just the weather. Amazing!

    No one in that article mentions spitting. By your and the OP's definition, everyone downvoting me is literally[0] spitting on me and the WSJ locking the article behind a paywall is also literally[0] spitting on me. This is of, of course, silly. The OP could have just said they didn't like being excluded and doesn't like what Apple is doing. That's fine. But spitting? That isn't something that is happening. The language of "spitting" is far to strong a description for what is effectively console war, consumer electronic purchase fandom BS. Some of use face actual prejudice you know! [0]metaphorically

  I can anecdotally confirm this is real. And not only that, I'm actually surprised you've never seen this or heard of this. Maybe you aren't in the US? Surely you're not arguing in bad faith.

    They’re just asking for actual evidence that iOS users think down on Android users. There are multiple articles that talk about this in the social circle of teens, and likely exist in various adult circles as well. What I can say is that it is extremely frustrating that texts don’t just work between users of different platforms. Some Android users don’t want to use WhatsApp, Signal, etc. and that’s totally fine. This feels like a closed wall two party system debate, it shouldn’t just be one or the other they should just work together. As an iOS user I do not look down on Android users, I have separate reasons for not using Android. That said I think it’s dumb that we need to use a different app to communicate effectively in a group setting, and I’m willing to use other apps, but not everyone is. So we end up with the current state where sometimes new groups are created when someone responds from a different device, or a different experience occurs when someone reacts to a message in a group thread.

      > They’re just asking for actual evidence that iOS users think down on Android users. From their reply after you commented, no. That user is asking for actual evidence that iOS users throw saliva from their mouth at Android users. Not a figure of speech, real liquid saliva.

        Which is absurd. "To spit upon" is a common figure of speech, and the person using it was clearly being metaphorical. Even iMessage doesn't support saliva transfer among iPhones ... as of 2023-12.

    “You’re in for a treat buddy” is a weird response and probably confirmed her biases.
