    So I’m an iPhone user and I use iMessage because it seems convenient and it’s what my family uses.

    However, if I were not an iPhone user it wouldn’t even occur to me to use third party apps to try and use iMessage to get the coveted blue (who gives a shit). Partially due to security/privacy concerns, and partially because I want my messages to be delivered reliably, not only until Apple figures out how to patch it’s system.

    SMS, email, signal and telegram all work just fine, with WhatsApp and FB/Instagram messenger being fine apart from their ownership.

    I'm on iPhone. Some in my family are on iPhones, some on Android. We text each other just fine. No one gives a shit if their text is blue or green. I honestly think this is a made-up thing people use to just complain about something.
