  It’s not “when” they put green bubbles in but how they’ve been maliciously modifying the design of green bubbles. They have made them progressively harder to read, here’s one article about it: uxdesign.cc/how-apple-makes-you-think-green-bubbl…

    Yeh, not very compelling. Apple has been screwing up usability by reducing the contrast of a lot of screen elements. MacOS window component are horribly washed out these days. Wouldn’t surprise me if they reduced the contrast of the green bubbles just to “improve” the aesthetics

    The whole argument is ridiculous because it's only the messages that you wrote and sent that are even on a blue or green color. The messages you read are always on the same light gray background regardless of how they sent.

      People never re-read their own texts, good point.

        It's just an incredibly weak argument. Messages that you, yourself, wrote are in slightly lower contrast? Who cares? For users who actually have vision problems with low-contrast, there's a single Reduce Transparency toggle in Accessibility settings that will resolve this issue and a bunch of other ones.

    Looks like I’d need an account to see the full article, but did the green bubbles have better contrast in previous iOS versions?
