Apple has seemingly found a way to block Android’s new iMessage app::Apple on Friday managed to block Beeper Mini from sending and receiving iMessages from Android phones — just days after the new app was released to the public.
Does anybody outside US care about blue bubbles or even uses sms for communication?
No. And anyone who cares should just be fully ignored because their opinions aren’t worth shit.
Australia here. SMS is the lowest common denominator. I use it to talk to clients all the time.
I’ve heard of the blue bubble thing but only from yanks I think.
Turns out the US is pretty big unfortunately
iMessage is somewhat common here for people around me (20s & 30s, West Coast Canada), but I haven’t heard anyone mention bubble color off the internet. I personally use Signal with a few friends on iOS and otherwise I mostly use Messenger/Instagram/Discord with other people. Texting isn’t as common?
The friends in the US have mentioned bubble color, but I’m not sure if it was satirical or not
Over here no one uses SMS (and by extension iMessage) for anything other than receiving TOTP codes or notifications for certain services.
