Most people complaining about imessage are people who bought Android devices. In places where imessage use is prevalent, people with iphones tend to leave their android owning friends out of group chats and complain about their text bubble color being green if they text an android phone.
And you want the EU to fix that?
I haven't said anything about the EU. There's no way the EU would address this, it's almost exclusively a US problem.
I mean... I did and you were replying to me so... Guess you just ignored my point and posted with a "fun fact" for no reason then.
Oh, I see the problem. You seem to have forgotten that you wrote:
I was responding to your point. You appeared to be arguing that this was a problem that could just be solved by just buying a different phone. I was saying that the people complaining are already the ones buying different phones.
You seem to think you know my point better than me.
Someone leaves me out of a group chat due to the color of my text bubble, I doubt there was any benefit to being included in the conversation anyway.
Well they aren't leaving you out because of the color of the text bubble. It's because having a phone that isn't an iPhone in the group causes it to fallback to using MMS instead of imessage. They lose a lot of the features that iPhone users love about imessage and the quality of shared images and video is much worse. The moment someone tries to share a video and everyone just gets a blurry smudge of pixels is the moment all the iPhone users get their own group together.
