Why is this a thing? I like iMessage but is there a reason people are trying to force their way into the protocol or whatever? Just to show blue or is there something unique to iMessage that no one else has?
iMessage chats are supposedly horribly broken for people participating over SMS. It got so bad in the US that teenagers treat it as a status symbol too.
As an android user, I treat it as an early red flag, if someone treats it as a status symbol.
We need a sticky for this.
When a group chat on iPhone includes an SMS-only participant, it downgrades the conversation for everyone to SMS. So everyone gets crappy images, and certain iMessage group features don't work.
