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.

      I have literally never, ever, ever in my entire life heard people say "I was spit upon" as a figure of speech. Ever. Please don't accuse me of being absurd just because I have not had the same life experience as you.

        The context should be clear in their comments. If not a web search usually helps me clear up any such misunderstandings before any doubling down.

People literally spit on you for having an Android phone? Like they literally hacked up a glob of saliva and spat on you as if you were doing a lunch counter sit in during the civil rights movement?

    No. "Spit on" is a serious accusation with real life historical analogs. I have literally never, ever, ever in my entire life heard people say "I was spit upon" as a figure of speech. Ever. It's not a figure of speech I would personally ever use because of the implications. Please don't accuse people of arguing in bad faith just because they haven't had the same life experiences you have had. You are spitting in me when you do so.
