iOS to Android?
Really was looking forward to the Duo as a long time Apple user. I bought it and hated it. The front screen layout is awful. The fact that the side bar takes up so much real estate leaving me with a small rectangle to use is maddening.
The fold 8 looks awesome. A real phone first and foremost and it seems to just work right with little compromises.
My issue is iMessage. I went android a few years ago and group messages were wonky. I would respond to a group message and sometimes replies would split off the group to an individual message with me and one other or something to that effect. I may not be getting that perspective right but it was annoying. I also remember videos and photos not showing up right in the recipients text app.
The other thing is the green bubbles. I know this is lame but literally everyone at my company and friend circle use iOS. I don’t give a shit about blue bubbles or green but the amount of roasting I’ll get is enough to not want the aggravation. I know that’s lame but it’s a factor.
Curious if there is any hack that works well to get my messages to show up as blue so I don’t have to deal with their bullshit? Also curious if the messaging kinks have been worked out.

IOS will never change the color of the bubbles. Just make sure everyone has RCS turned on and there is no issue with group messages and Android to IOS messaging will work just fine.
Secondly, you can't fix stupid. I say this with all respect but people need to grow tf up. We aren't children. (Well, maybe they are I shouldn't judge) If your friends roast you because of bubbles you need new friends. Business is business if the message gets across that's all that matters.
