Good grief! No one is spitting on people with Android phones. If you really feel this way you need to put your screen down and spend time talking to people in real life. No one is persecuting you.
* Android user in the US where this dynamic primarily exists, but I just don't care because I'm not 20 any more. I only very occasionally need to send a video or picture to anyone, and in those cases, I know enough to use email or a google photos link or something, which probably annoys the recipient a little and makes me weird to them, but I'm just ok with that since I know where the blame really lies. Similarly in the occasional times I txt with family members or friends, we're not in high school and so they don't care about my green bubble, and I just accept the annoying stupid extra txts I get that say "x smiled" or whatever. That ux don't bother me in the sense that I don't spend any time thinking and caring about it, but that doesn't make it not utterly stupid and ridiculous, and especially so when you know it's a deliberate act and not an honest technical limitation. Astonishingly it's possible to both recognize that something is not worth investing much care over, and recognize that it's wrong and that it's a deliberate wrong commited by someone and not just the weather. Amazing!
> Over time, the annoyance and frustration that built up between blue and green bubbles evolved into more than a tech problem. It created a deeper sociological divide between people who judged one another by their phones. The color of a bubble became a symbol that some believe reflects status and wealth, given a perception that only wealthy people buy iPhones.

> On dating apps, green-bubble users are often rejected by the blues. Adults with iPhones have been known to privately snicker to one another when a green bubble taints a group chat. In schools, a green bubble is an invitation for mockery and exclusion by children with iPhones, according to Common Sense Media, a nonprofit that focuses on technology’s impact on families.
> “This green-versus-blue issue is a form of cyberbullying,” said Jim Steyer, the chief executive of Common Sense, which works with thousands of schools that have shared stories about tensions among children using messaging apps.
