A lot of it comes down to the messenger too. The younger people that I know prefer iMessage, green bubbles are like repellant to them. If android could get their shit together and make a similar app without doing the typical Google thing of fracturing it into five apps later on, then they might actually win some of the younger market share.

Teens don’t care about having a cohesive messaging app. The green vs blue bubble stigma has nothing to do with the usability of the app. It has everything to do with blue bubbles being a signifier of status because Apple = more expensive in people’s minds. Google has to penetrate that first.
