    This whole blue bubble, green bubble thing has gone on long enough. It used to be absurd, but now it’s just pathetic. How vacant and shallow must one’s life be in order to be so affected by text bubble colors. 
    100% agree that people worried about what others think about their choice of phone are pathetic.  But most people just want a way to seamlessly communicate across platforms in the U.S. (because U.S. iPhone users stubbornly refuse to use WhatsApp, etc.; in fact, most of them are clueless about anything beyond iMessage).

    Green bubble crowd, always looking for work arounds.

     Embrace your green bubble-hood! Don’t run from it!
    "Work around" what?  Sorry, but nobody over the age of 14 living outside the U.S. gives a shit about iMessage.  It's that mixed Android and iPhone group chats are terrible.  This is a great solution.

    The whole thing is so stupid. 

    If you want iMessage, get an iPhone. 

    Boom. Done. 

    Don’t cry about something Google doesn’t make and then buy Google. If you want an apple feature, buy an apple product. 

    Common sense. It used to be a thing. 
    Who's crying?  Everyone knows that mixed Android and iPhone group chats suck, and it's Apple's fault.  Telling Android users to "get an iPhone" is absurd.  Maybe Apple finally agreeing to incorporate RCS will be a fix.  In the meantime, this app is genius.

    Sounds like another security disaster. 
    Sounds like you haven't read anything about it.

    I want to know where a message is coming from. If it’s blue I know it’s coming from an iPhone and is using a secure connection. That means a lot. Faking a secure connection by using a blue bubble I see as fraud. It’s not a minor issue it’s major. It’s like faking a VPN connection or handshake protocol. We need to be able to trust our communications protocols, otherwise nothing is secure. 
    This isn't faking a secure connection.  The app sends genuine iMessages.  Read the info on Beeper's website.  Regardless, if you have an issue with any of this, take it up with Apple.  It should have incorporated RCS long ago.  Apple is the reason group chats with Android users are terrible (unless everyone agrees to use WhatsApp, etc.)
