For years, iPhone and Android users have been struggling to bridge the divide caused by iMessage. Every iPhone owner knows the feeling of seeing a text turn green instead of blue, and everyone with an Android device has been the odd one out in a group chat.
Apple also widened the divide even further a few years ago with its introduction of Tapback. Holding down on a message would bring up a series of emoji reactions that would then appear over the text. Unfortunately, these reactions only worked from one iPhone to another. On an Android device, they would appear as a separate text indicating that the user had liked or laughed at a message.
Android's inability to handle Tapback responses quickly turned into a meme. No one with an Android phone was safe from ridicule when iPhone users were attempting to use the feature in a group chat. Thankfully, at long last, Google is finally updating its Messages app to fix this issue.
