Apparently, blue bubble envy is a thing people have. The beeper home page mentions blue bubbles 9 times (and not being a green bubble twice). WSJ reported in August that 87% of teens have an iPhone so anybody with an android or a green bubble therefore stands out and is a loser.

- dawnerd 3y agoIt’s not just about that. I want to be able to use my Apple message id on other devices.
- hifreq 3y agoI want to be able to send messages from Signal to WhatsApp! Alas, I am not entitled to that.
- dawnerd 3y agoWhat? That’s not even the same thing. I can install signal on all my devices. I can’t do the same with messages. It’s about device vendor lock in.

- artyn 3y agoI think people wouldn't mind the green bubble if it had a good contrast ratio.
- fatnoah 3y agoMy son had an Android phone. I don't think anyone considered him to be a loser, but he did get very sick of everyone why he had a green bubble.
- therein 3y agoI have a green bubble because I don't want to live in a walled garden. I'd like to think there are still youth social circles where that'd get you clout.
- raydev 3y agoI'm shocked your son and his friends were using iMessage, even in the US. My teens are using Snapchat/IG/TikTok mostly for messaging. iMessage or SMS is exclusively how they communicate with their parents.
- carstenhag 3y agoOn the Beeper website it sayss they use "blue bubble" to refer to iMessage.
