Android users gain a green text bubble in iMessage rather than the default blue bubble, as they’re forced to use SMS instead of sending messages via data.

The Android Twitter account also took issue with “bullying” around Apple’s iMessage, saying that a solution already exists.

Furthermore, the article quotes a 2013 email from Apple’s Craig Federighi, in which he presents his opposition to an internal suggestion to bring iMessage to Android.

“In the absence of a strategy to become the primary messaging service for (the) bulk of cell phone users, I am concerned the iMessage on Android would simply serve to remove (an) obstacle to iPhone families giving their kids Android phones,” Federighi noted.

The third-class handling of Android users in iMessage doesn’t merely extend to a green text bubble, but also means that many features are hobbled for that user.
