Why does this matter? As an android user, I don't really understand iMessage. Are people mad about a text bubble being a different color?
Blue bubble in iMessage means the message is encrypted and fully functional. Green bubble means it’s not encrypted and some features (like sharing videos) wont work properly.
Apple has gained a lot of market share in recent years, and apparently it’s a thing to make fun of that one person in a group text who’s using an android and forcing all the bubbles to be green. Kinda silly, and I’m sure Google’s ultimate goal here is getting access to more user data (over any concerns about “openness” or bullying), but there you go.
And here I come to say, what the fuck is Imessager
iMessage is the iPhone’s default texting app. It comes preinstalled on all their phones.
The app is called Messages. iMessages are what are sent through Apples messaging system which is only available to Apple devices.
