    Yep. The popularity of iPhones in US doesn’t represent the rest of the world. iPhone users are the minority in Finland. No one is complaining about green chat bubbles because iPhone users have to use WhatsApp aswell.

          Meta is not just a big corp. They are known for misusing the data they illegally gather. It’s no secret that they admitted to trying to change the results of political elections. That’s no entity I want to have my data.

      I did ask my teen, who said that while the bubble color is fun to tease someone about, it really doesn’t matter since they’re more likely using SnapChat or some other app, rather than texting
