Apple just needs to make one simple change to its messaging app.
#Google apple green bubble update
It's not clear when Google will issue the update for everyone else. Apple, the ‘green bubble’ bully Posted on : JanuBy Karthik S communication marketing & advertising opinion Tweet Share Mail Share Recently, the Twitter handle of Android (the mobile operating system that belongs to Google) tweeted, iMessage should not benefit from bullying. This Modest Proposal Solves the Apple-Google Green Bubble Debate. Per 9to5Google, it's currently working on Pixel 6 devices. According to 9to5Google, Google Messages may reintroduce the hamburger menu, potentially forgoing its new design language.Īs mentioned above, this feature is currently rolling out for beta users.
