I don't even believe that. If you show your grandma both of them and asked which one she would guess is more secure, what do you think her guess would be?

Certainly neither is perfect, but unless I'm missing something obvious, there is literally nothing about blue that conveys security more than green. It's just an arbitrary choice Apple made, and how the heck is an Android user supposed to know about it? Whereas a lock is kind of self-explanatory...

I'm a technical person, spend most of my life with computers, and this is the first time I hear that blue messages means secure. I assume this is something Apple specific? Because I have never seen this anywhere. It... doesn't seem obvious. While lock is pretty universally understood.
