It’s the blue bubble. It’s ostracizing even among adults if you are a green
bubble. I am sure kids leave other kids out because of the dreaded green bubble.

The attempt to build a unified messaging app on Android (using RCS) died..

I was devastated to hear I won't be getting emojis anytime soon. But yes, Android native messaging is a mess.

It gives Apple no incentive to support RCS.. iMessage holds power for apple.

Totally agree. iMessage is literally the key to Apple's fortune. They would be a shadow of the company without it.

T-mobile is now making it default. Assumption is others will follow now. Probably will fail again though.

You’re choosing your friends based on Apple not knowing how to play nice?

We had one friend excluded from the group chat cause he was on Android. He switched.

That's also true. I recently looked at "text" usage and it was low for 2 of my teens but a 3rd it was still high.

Lots of bad parents. More boobs have been seen on snapchat than any other app.

It's a combo of Snapchat, TikTok, and Instagram. I would guess over 90% of teens time are spent on those three.
