Yesterday I sent the heart reaction on a text from an Android user. It showed up as a green bubble “Loved an image” text message from me. This used to work before. Oh darn, Google really showed me.
As the article’s writer said, “Google really turned the table on Apple” with this change. My reaction is “laughed at an article’s sentence”. Virtually no one on the Apple side cares what Google does with its messaging media game (except Tech writer and YT channel that live in their own green bubble).
