Will Google’s #GetTheMessage Campaign Make Apple Fix the Green Bubbles?

Google is leading a social media campaign aimed at getting Apple to change the way it handles text messaging. The #GetTheMessage campaign is focused on a specific feature of the iPhone that many people find unsightly and undesirable: green chat bubbles.

For iPhone users, green chat bubbles indicate that a message has been sent via SMS instead of Apple’s own iMessage platform. However, for many recipients, green bubbles can be an eyesore and indicate that the sender is not using an iPhone, which has often led to social stigma and exclusion.

Google, which has its own messaging platform, is trying to capitalize on discontent with green bubbles by launching a campaign encouraging iPhone users to switch to Android. The campaign includes videos and social media posts highlighting the benefits of Android messaging, such as the ability to customize chat bubbles and avoid social stigma.

So, will Google’s campaign make Apple fix the green bubbles? It’s unlikely. Apple has been resistant to changing its messaging system and has a long-standing commitment to protecting user privacy. In addition, iMessage is a key feature that sets the iPhone apart from competitors, and Apple is unlikely to change it based on some social media pressure.

However, the #GetTheMessage campaign could have positive outcomes beyond just changing Apple’s messaging system. It could raise awareness about the importance of inclusive design and the impact of social stigmas in technology. It may also encourage Apple to improve its messaging platform to provide more customization options, addressing some of the issues that have led to frustration among some users.

Since technology is not going anywhere and does more good than harm, adapting is the best course of action. That is where The Tech Edvocate comes in. We plan to cover the PreK-12 and Higher Education EdTech sectors and provide our readers with the latest news and opinion on the subject. From time to time, I will invite other voices to weigh in on important issues in EdTech. We hope to provide a well-rounded, multi-faceted look at the past, present, the future of EdTech in the US and internationally.

We started this journey back in June 2016, and we plan to continue it for many more years to come. I hope that you will join us in this discussion of the past, present and future of EdTech and lend your own insight to the issues that are discussed.
