If I make you aware of a problem that exists solely because of something you've done and you do nothing to stop it - is it your fault?

How else would you recommend Apple indicate your message doesn't have end-to-end security? That's what the colors are actually about, BTW.

Kids didn't bully kids due to end to end security...

> That's what the colors are actually about, BTW.

No, the green bubbles are intentionally made hard to read with low contrast text, if it was just to show end to end security they could have made the bubbles look pleasing rather than irritating.

They don't look "irritating" to me. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Anyway, that is what the colors are indicating. Unless I'm missing something, the white text appears to be the same white in both cases, the text font appears to be the same, and the color saturation and brightness appear to be the same. So I'm not seeing how this was an attempt to make the texts "intentionally" hard to read. If you wanted to make it hard to read, you would have used yellow, not green.

Have little padlock sybols on the encrypted message, like literally everyone else does?

I assure you that the number of people that interpret those colors as encryption indicators is vanishingly small. To 99.9% of iPhone users it is a stand-in for "are these people in my cult or not?"

Like I asked the other guy, what could or should have they done?

Like I keep telling you, have little padlock symbols on the encrypted messages :)

They made no effort to help the issue, when they very easily could have.

Such as by doing...?

Making all bubbles green

The point of the color is so the user knows whether a message is encrypted or not.

Yep, and the only people whose messages arent encrypted are android users due to apples proprietary protocol.

So why do they leave the kids getting bullied for green bubbles? Because its good advertising, and it makes kids ask their parents for iPhones.

They could very easily have made all bubbles green, and put a tiny padlock icon either next to the message, or even next to the user profile.

You seem to be under the misapprehension that kids actually care about the reasons why they bully other kids, and they don't just do it because they're assholes who just want to bully someone and haven't learned how to treat each other yet.

And every time I answer your questions logically and correctly you seem to ignore it and change the angle of what you are saying.

No. The original complaint blamed Apple because kids bully each other. If you think kids bully each other because of the color of a message bubble then you don't understand kids. The idea that the problem would be solved by the feature being graphically different is laughably naive. Suppose that Apple made it so that encrypted and unencrypted messages were indistinguishable. Do you honestly think that would result in a net reduction in bullying? Because I think bullies just latch onto any reason they can to torment their victims.
