> including getting teens to bully other teens for an out-group bubble color Whose messages turn green or blue depending on protocol in use in a given (potentially group) thread in Apple's Messages? [EDIT] The up-and-down voting pattern suggests my point may not have come through: if you were trying to cause this, where would you place this indicator? On messages from the person with phone sending SMS, right? Apple places it on the iPhone user's messages that they send, to indicate what kind of message you've sent so you have some idea what the other end's experience will be, and why certain features may not appear in your UI (you don't need to see what kind of message is coming in—its capabilities are evident, whatever you see is the result of that message using whatever features it needed and could access) Is Apple unhappy that Android users feel excluded? I doubt it. Was this feature evidently designed to do that, on purpose? I mean, if so, they didn't do it very well. "Green bubble" became a thing, initially, because you'd add an Android users to a group text (actually iMessage) thread and it'd "green bubble" everyone else and make things work less-well. There had to be some kind of indicator so this wouldn't seem to happen just at random, and that was it—but the affordance pointedly does not single out who's responsible, indeed, in a group thread that starts out with mixed Android and iOS users, I'm not even sure how to tell who's a "green bubble" and who's a "blue bubble" (I suppose you'd tap each contact and see if iMessage-related features were available?)
