No Stupid Questions
No such thing. Ask away!
!nostupidquestions is a community dedicated to being helpful and answering each others' questions on various topics.
The rules for posting and commenting, besides the rules defined here for lemmy.world, are as follows:
Rules (interactive)
Rule 1- All posts must be legitimate questions. All post titles must include a question.
All posts must be legitimate questions, and all post titles must include a question. Questions that are joke or trolling questions, memes, song lyrics as title, etc. are not allowed here. See Rule 6 for all exceptions.
Rule 2- Your question subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material.
Your question subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material. You will be warned first, banned second.
Rule 3- Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here.
Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here. Breaking this rule will not get you or your post removed, but it will put you at risk, and possibly in danger.
Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.
That's it.
Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.
Questions which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.
Rule 6- Regarding META posts and joke questions.
Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-question posts using the [META] tag on your post title.
On fridays, you are allowed to post meme and troll questions, on the condition that it's in text format only, and conforms with our other rules. These posts MUST include the [NSQ Friday] tag in their title.
If you post a serious question on friday and are looking only for legitimate answers, then please include the [Serious] tag on your post. Irrelevant replies will then be removed by moderators.
Rule 7- You can't intentionally annoy, mock, or harass other members.
If you intentionally annoy, mock, harass, or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.
Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.
Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.
Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.
Let everyone have their own content.
Rule 10- Majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here.

As an American, what even is this bubble? Is OP talking about the color of that speech box thing? It doesn’t matter to me, I use both whatsapp AND my iphone’s built-in texting app (but mostly the latter for messaging my fellow Americans, as adding them to iphone contacts that are shared with any email addresses if known is more convenient and iphone texts seem to be messed up when you try to send them to international numbers)
If you use iMessage on an iPhone, other messages from iMessage come in with a different bubble color than texts/SMS/MMS that don't come from iMessage. That's anything from a non-Apple device.
Why anyone cares, though, is all elitist nonsense. 🤷♂️
I care not because of elitism but because videos sent via MMS from android to iphone are postage stamp quality, texts sent from iphone to android frequently contain emojis that the android user can't see because androids have like two or three places you need to go to update the core functionality of the phone, and half the android userbase only knows about one of those places. It's a severely impaired experience, and it's apple's fault (I have an iphone). My girlfriend is on Android and for any kind of multimedia beyond simple pictures, we switch over to meta Messenger (she picked the app, I hate all things meta).
I didn't know most of this.
Totally seamless Android to Android, and the videos are normal quality. And what are the multiple places to update core functionality of the phone? I get updates periodically, and I honestly have my doubts about whether any other place to check could really include "core functionality", but maybe there's another place for something about how it interacts with iPhones.
I tend not to send/receive a lot of videos, but the biggest problem I've had connecting between Android and iPhone was really more about the fact that I used to have an iPhone. When I switched, most things worked fine, but I stopped receiving texts from a few other iPhone users. I'd only notice I had missed anything, in most cases, days later when I opened up my Mac computer, and the iMessages would pour in that I never received on the phone. I kept telling these people to change their settings to send me regular texts rather than iMessages, but it turned out there was a setting I needed to change in my Apple account to disable "use iMessage". After that change, they all started coming to my phone like any other texts, but Apple definitely could have made that transition easier (if they cared to) by automatically sending these as texts if the user hadn't had an iPhone online in some time. If I hadn't still had a Mac computer, I might never have known about many of these, and people might have just thought I was ignoring them!
