    Reason on the right should 100% be because of iMessage. If it wasn’t for literally everyone in my family being mad at me “breaking” the family texts I’d still have an Android. All too often they’d just text without me which got very sad. Apple has done a great job locking people in with iMessage.

      I take it you’re American? European families complain about people not being on WhatsApp

      Sorry to hear that man. But if your family excludes you because you don’t have an iPhone/iMessage, maybe you need a new family, not a new phone.

      Honestly I see it as an advantage. If someone will cut someone out of interaction because of the color of a text message bubble then they’re probably not a very good person.

      When I chat with most of my friends, it’s on Facebook Messenger for that reason. They chat with their families on iMessage.
