I asked if people chose iPhone for the blue bubbles elsewhere a couple days ago, and while there was some good discourse on that post, the blue bubbles definitely also came up as a reason.
In my experience, when people find out my texts are green, they oftentimes would rather switch to a different platform altogether like Instagram or just not text at all.
Is this actually a deal-breaker in friendships out there?
Why would your boss be sending communications to actual phone numbers and not to something like Slack anyways? I know that’s a very “tech company” question to ask, but you did state one of your responsibilities fits that bill, so I thought of asking.
It’s a small organisation and it’s an uphill battle to train them communications etiquette. It’s one of the reasons I implemented zulip (a slack alternative).
But the field we’re in is not tech, making it difficult for people to adapt.
