This is the worst part about Apple. I support apple at my work but it gets harder and harder to hear my daughters talk about the bullying on text groups.

WTF is wrong with Apple?

    Apple does not use green because it’s ugly. Green was the original color for SMS since iphone 1, when imessage did not even exist yet. That’s why the app icon is green to this day, not blue. At that time green was the only color in the app, and the app was in fact called “SMS”, not “Messages”.

      We used to do lots of dumb things on phones that we don’t do anymore. The green sucks to look at and there’s no reason it can’t be changed by the user except Apple doesn’t want to let you.

      At the time of the iphone 1 Apple argued that apps were stupid. The world has changed, yet somehow I can’t change a text color.
