I asked if people chose iPhone for the blue bubbles elsewhere a couple days ago, and while there was some good discourse on that post, the blue bubbles definitely also came up as a reason.

In my experience, when people find out my texts are green, they oftentimes would rather switch to a different platform altogether like Instagram or just not text at all.

Is this actually a deal-breaker in friendships out there?

    Whatsup is just Facebook messenger. No one is installing it, you been fool to believe everyone uses it but not really.

      They’re completely different services, and given USA’s population doesn’t exceed South America, Europe, South Asia and South East Asia put together (all majority WhatsApp users), then yes, just about everyone uses it.

        No not everyone uses it, just like not everyone in America eats burgers. Services doesn’t even matter, some old people i know wouldn’t touch Whatsup because they are too tech litteric.
