Samsung Created a Bunch of Pro-Green Bubble GIFs to Get Back at iPhone Users Who Prefer Blue Chat Bubbles

Bizarre. I don't know anyone who wouldn't reply to a friend on Android because they're communicating via SMS and its green. Green was the original color of iMessage BTW (not the dayglo green now of course though).
Samsung should just preload Signal on their Android phones - the message bubbles are always blue on iPhones. I've actually gotten a few of my Android friends to use this - it gets rid of the picture / attachment size limitation they normally had with green SMS (which they like) and adds encryption for them.

The problem with third party apps is that you need to download an app.
If you want real security for sensitive information you shouldn't be using iMessage
The fact that they’ve made this makes it clear that #GreenDoesCare.
#GreenWithEnvy
My god this is so stupid. Is there anyone besides The Verge writers who feel anxiety over green bubbles? And for them it’s probably click bait more than anything else. I’m sure stories like this drive traffic.
Haven't even looked but I bet the entire thread is a version of this triggered meme.
I sort of think the same thing when I'm watching the Apple Events and they spend 30 minutes showing how awesome something new like Animojis are.
I only saw that on a TV show, I am shocked to know such kind of people exist, utter stupidity.
Is there actual evidence people do this (outside of trolling on message boards/comments section)?
That's discrimination. You need to be more like, a guy who doesn't discriminate because of the color of the chat balloon. I don't respond to any text message.
#2 in line is Microsoft with their "Mac Book" ad.
In all seriousness, despite my ribbing in this thread, I really don't believe it's a thing. At this stage I think it's just become a meme that won't die. Samsung probably started it
Looks like samsung is a little bitter that Apple managed to create an entire ecosystem of millions who use their messaging app with very minimal effort. (shrug)
