The new survey by All About Cookies was: After other surveys of young people, it’s only a matter of time before this happens. Just as owning an iPhone makes you look more attractive, iPhone could be a “decisive” device when it comes to going on a date or having a romantic relationship with someone. There seems to be no end to the blue and green bubble phenomenon; Google has already spoken on this topic, and although Android boasts of its compatibility with iPhone’s messages, thanks to RCS, the symbol of its messages. The “situation” between iPhone and Android is more specific for the following.

Green bubbles on Android even affect dating, in this respect it is better to have an iPhone

The survey of 1,000 adults, conducted via the Pollfish tool, reflects: iPhone users think less of people who send them ‘green bubbles’ when they receive text messages. Let’s remember that iMessage is symbolized by a blue balloon. Messages from Android or another mobile operating system will be green on iPhone.

Think less about people texting you on iPhone

22% of iPhone users surveyed admit they are “doing less” to users who message thembut 78% admit they “don’t feel superior” to the users in question. These results can easily be classified as elitisttaking this into consideration 23% of iPhone users feel discouraged when they see a potential partner sends them a message and it turns out to be a green balloon. Is it a gender issue? According to the survey, 31 percent of men and 16 percent of women think this is an “obstacle” for someone interested in “using a non-Apple mobile phone.”

This behavior can only be seen in the USAIt’s something that also reflects on teenagers. Piper Sandler’s latest data reflects this: 87% of teens have an iPhone, with Android sitting almost at the bottom. What about the Android side?

More than half of Android users feel displaced or mocked for owning a mobile phone with this system

Users considering (or not considering) replacing their Android via printing

How elitist can owning an iPhone be? This survey reflects exactly that. 52% of Android users felt “made fun of” by iPhone users. 36% were “rated negatively” and another 26% felt “embarrassed” by their Android mobile phone. What is even more surprising is that the incident almost turned into social pressure. 30% of Android users considered switching to iPhone due to pressure from colleagues or friends.

Maybe it all boils down to problems with iMessage and text messages. Looks like RCS messaging won’t be enough in iOS 18. The color will dominate until it is realized that through some work or behavior this will eventually change for the good of all.

Situations that happen to Android users

Coming back to the topic of dating, it looks like this bubble gap will be resolved on other messaging platforms as well. The survey showed that iPhone and Android users are in favor of having a “level playing field.” This is mainly achieved by using a platform such as WhatsApp that is available on both systems.

42% of respondents responded positively when asked if they had switched to a third-party app to accommodate non-iPhone users. There is hope in balancing the scales and not paying attention to what one is equipped with, whether for a relationship or simple friendship.

Don’t have an iPhone just for status or social pressure

On the other hand, the survey concludes with a very important fact. Apart from prejudices and social status, All About Cookies concludes that “text messaging apps are incompatible” default” and that this causes communication problems. 38% of Android users surveyed said they did not understand messages from iPhone or that they lost information because of it.

The most common cases where a message sent from iPhone to Android cannot be interpreted are mainly due to the use of emojis or multimedia issues such as stickers or Memojis. When content is not available on Android, a small square is sent to indicate that no comments are available for that item.

The battle between iMessage, SMS and RCS

In the opinion of US Senator Elizabeth Warren, Cupertinos are “ruining relationships” over green balloons. Is it really happening? Being Mexican, in my personal case and perhaps not too far from Spain, WhatsApp and Telegram are two of the most used options above iMessage. What is your situation? Do you agree with the survey shown?
