“Nothing Chats, powered by Sunbird, allows you to directly message other phone users from your Nothing phone via blue bubbles.”
I don’t think this solves the problem, but it is a step in the right direction.

I’ve never owned an Apple device or dealt with iMessage chats before but my understanding is that Android users and their blue bubbles don’t have access to some of the features of iMessage and that messes with the chat for everyone or something. Also LUL Android user is too poor/not cool enough to own an iPhone. That’s what I’ve gathered from Americans on the internet anyway.
It’s american highschool bully culture. The rest of the planet solved this by using other messengers or simply not being cunts. Guess that approach is another thing that can’t be done in the land of the free
The Apple corporation are dicks, so America bad?
Lemmy sure is a trip sometimes.
Wait, apple is bullying people who use android phones? Sure is a trip
It seems like you’re implying that only American children are mean to each other.
I’m not. I’m implying american grownups are acting like children. Oh, and it seems apple will implement some form of compatibility with the android thing, whatever the name is
So true
This would not be a problem, but Apple purposefully and maliciously degrades the messaging experience by compressing the shit out of any MMS sent to (or received from) non-apple devices. Even non-multimedia stuff like group chats or reactions are being broken. On purpose. To piss you off just enough to maybe consider switching to their closed proprietary ecosystem.
It may not work on you and me, but you’d be surprised how effective it is on young impressionable teens who are under extreme peer pressure by their stupid “friends” who are shallow enough to care about the chat bubble colors. My 16 y/o son was quite happy with his Pixel 5a, but was literally bullied into switching to an iphone. He spent a decent chunk of his summer job’s earnings to buy a used 12 mini and a replacement battery for it. Now he can’t sideload apps, or rearrange his home screen, or a myriad of other things that he’s gotten used to on Android, but at least his bubbles are the “right” color.
It hurts the ability to send multi media. Specifically video just can’t be sent over MMS if you want to do more than listen.
