Apple, in an attempt to leverage social pressure to drive sales instead of actually providing a quality product, displays texts from Android devices in a deliberately unpleasant to look at shade of green. Teenagers took the bait hook line and sinker.
Apple users get the option to “react” to messages, adding things like 💜 or 👍 to the message. Since it’s not natively supported by other messaging apps, those users get a message that looks like mine instead of an emoji.
I am on apple. The other day two people from a group of friends were texting me and sent videos. The apple user sent a nice vid. The next was from a potato back 20 years in time. Or it could have been the latest android flagship. I don’t really know, but it feels annoying and unnecessary.

It also fucks with the quality of videos to the point where they are unwatchable if you have an android
