With message effects, you can use bubble effects to change the way your message bubbles look, or use full-screen effects to animate the screen. You can even add a Memoji sticker with bubble effects or full-screen effects.
If you experience issues like conversations in Messages showing up as separate threads or sent messages appearing as green message bubbles instead of blue message bubbles when you set up a new device, update your settings using the following steps:
This attitude might seem childish but harmless at first glance, but it is actually a real problem with real consequences. Young Android users, in particular, increasingly feel left out within their group of iPhone-using friends because of this green bubble phenomenon.
There are people out there who think Apple intentionally made the green bubble color as ugly as possible as a subtle dig against Android, and that strategy may be swaying iPhone users to literally not associate with Android users.
Apple must know by now that the people of the blue bubbles make fun of the people of the green. And I guess if I worked at Apple I?d be pretty psyched with this reaction. After all, what is a more powerful brand amplifier than social pressure? If people who converse in green bubbles start to feel relatively poor, or socially inferior, because they chose to use a less-expensive pocket supercomputer than those made by Apple, that could lead to iPhone sales. Ugly green bubbles = $$$$$ and promotions.
But I think the ugly green bubbles are the result of a mean-spirited, passive-aggressive product decision, marketed in a mean-spirited way. Certainly it?s not a crisis in capitalism. This is not to say that Google is good and Apple is bad; they?re both enormous structures that have so much power that they can manufacture their own realities (except for Google Glass, then not so much).
The bubbles are a subtle, little, silly thing but they are experienced by millions of people. That amplifies that product descision into a unsubtle, large, serious-yet-still silly thing. The people who are tweeting about green bubbles are following Apple?s lead. It?s not unprecedented; Apple has done stuff like this before, like giving Windows machines on its network a ?Blue Screen of Death? icon. But people spend so much time texting that it adds up.
Except prior to iMessage all text messages were sent over SMS and were in green bubbles. If this is really Apple pettiness then it has to be one of the longest well planned out move of pettiness in history.
This is just a very big opportunity for Microsoft to produce an app that works on all phones. I would not be surprised if Microsoft started making better apps that all can use and we can all play together instead of being locked into android or iphone or windows phones.I hope Microsoft gets it right with their global apps as then the barrier to functionality would disappear and apple and android would have no choice but to compete.
I just looked at my phone and when I text my son (iPhone 5) from my iPhone it comes up a green bubble. The last 2-3 months we have had nothing but problems with these phones and texting. Loved them in the beginning- not so much now
This is truly one of the most boneheaded anti-Apple pieces I have ever read, and on TechDirt of all places! As other have said, ALL text message bubbles on iOS were green until around 2010 when Apple introduced iMessage. Yes, iMessages are free and can include emoji and go beyond the 160 SMS character limit. But most importantly, unlike SMS, iMessages are SECURE.
Apple has confirmed to me that blue bubbles will still be used to represent iMessages, while green bubbles will represent RCS messages. The company uses blue bubbles to denote what it believes is the best and most secure way for iPhone users to communicate, which is iMessage.
The green vs blue bubbles debate has become a cultural staple over the years. Google and Samsung have both used the color of bubbles in advertising campaigns criticizing Apple for not supporting RCS.
