The green bubble has nothing to do with with iPhone vs Android, it has to do with iMessage vs a regular text message. iMessages typically use data and text messages typically don’t. Furthermore, iMessages have greater features that obviously can’t be delivered to people who don’t use iMessage, like reactions and effects. iPhone users who use a different messaging app also have green bubbles, as do messages sent as a text message while off of data.

It has nothing to do with iPhone vs Android, it's just a symptom of Apple pushing people into using an iPhone-only messaging app which they refuse to port to Android, specifically to create vendor lockin! Totally different!

I actually get green text bubbles from a relative with an iPhone because they send messages to my work number whereas my iMessage is tied to my personal number.

I only get green bubbles, because pretty much everyone uses Discord or Facebook Messenger. The only messages I get that arrive through the Messages app are from Android users, usually via Android Auto, or automated notifications.

yes this. green messages imply the person has poor internet reception e.g. when out of town or during heavy storms
