People have been left out of group chats, ghosted, and shamed about the fact that their texts show up as green bubbles in iMessage. For years now, Apple has turned all non-iPhone users 'text bubbles while keeping iPhone users' bubbles blue, and it's created some drama. In the first episode of season 4 of Why'd You Push That Button?, my co-host Kaitlyn Tiffany and I discuss why iPhone users judge their green-bubbled friends.
We talk to two longtime friends whose group has been chatted to one another. Then we talk to a woman who had to leave us to talk to her.
Finally, we talk to you about what's really behind all this drama. Sarah Allred, an associate professor in the psychology department at Rutgers University, specializes in color perception, and she explains the green and blue bubbles make us feel deep in our unconscious mind. The VergeDieter Bohn's executive editor also comes to the show to explain how to mess up the work of the editor. IMessage has a different color. Apple might not be so sinister after all.
