I understand the sacrifice though. I've always been an Android guy, but I'm left out of a lot of group chats because of it. I play on multiple sports teams where I'm the only one without an iPhone. They have a group chat for the team, and I'm the only one left off. Same with just difference friend groups. I try and get people to use whatsapp, hangouts, groupme, or just anything else and no dice. I've considered switching to an iPhone just for social reasons, but can't bring myself to do it.

I have the same problem because I don't have a facebook account. I'm left out of a lot of discussion and miss out on invitations because of it.

But if I really look back, I can't remember any of it. Nothing was actually that important. It seems like it is on the moment, but the really important stuff, people make the effort to reach out to me for it.

It's actually a good social filter.

That's fair. It's just annoying for things like a soccer team. If someone has an update about game time or something, someone has to text me specifically.

Android phones can do group texts. That's how at least 50% of my activities with friends get planned, and some of them have iPhones

[Kratisto]

I'm not sure if there is a limit on number of people or maybe they just don't want "green" messages. Either way it's conform or be left out.

Android doesn’t support group chats? That can’t be right...
