Drake just released his new album on Friday. Called"For All the Dogs," the album does include a new song that iOS and Android users might find interesting. The song is called"First Person Shooter" and it not only mentions Android phones, it also mentions green text bubbles. As you probably know, when an Android user joins a group chat that previously was made up of nothing but iPhone users, the iMessage features go away and are replaced by SMS and MMS texting.
So when an Android user joins a group chat, iMessage features such as end-to-end encryption, read receipts, high-quality images, and typing indicators disappear. The text bubbles turn from blue to green which is the reference made by Drake in his song. Oftentimes the offending Android user is insulted for not being able to afford to buy an iPhone. Ironically though, the same thing happens to Android users in an RCS group chat when an iPhone user joins the group.
In the song, Drake raps about not answering someone's phone call and says,"She call my number, leave her hangin', she got dry cleaned. She got an Android, her messages is lime green." This is not the first time that Drake has brought up green text bubbles. In last year's"Honestly, Nevermind" album, Drake had a song called"Texts Go Green." Google, which iswrote,"The Android team thinks Drake's new song"Texts Go Green" is a real banger.
