Don't Text Drake From An Android Phone
Toronto rapper Drake released his new album, To All The Dogs, on Friday.
The album includes the song "First-Person Shooter", which is about receiving text messages from an Android phone.
This isn't the first time Drake has referenced Green Bubble lyrics, and Google even tried to use his previous track to their advantage.
If you're a fan of rapper Drake (for the record, I'm not), you know that his new studio album, For All Dogs, will be released on Friday. If you haven't heard it yet, feel free to listen to it on your favorite music streaming service, but when you go to JJ Con Cole's First Person Shooter, Drake mentions androids and green bubbles. composition
We're halfway through the song when the reference changes something. “He has an Android, his messages are light green.”
I have a lot of questions here. Why don't you answer the phone? Is it because you are using Android ? Does Drake have anything on Android or just the light green color? Why does my editor even listen to Drake? Because he's from Toronto? Is that why he actually asked me to write this article? So many questions... but I'll explain.
Either way, this isn't the first time Drake has come up with green bubbles. On last year's Loyalty, Nevermind album, he literally wrote a song called "Texts Go Green" after an iPhone user was banned from iMessage and his text messages started showing up green instead of blue. However, the same color appears when an iPhone user sends a text message to an Android user. Isn't it surprising that both situations are interpreted this way? Not really, but I like all the drama.
Google found this interesting because it used the moment to highlight the song, and since Apple has not yet implemented RCS, the company says it will reduce many of the problems Android phone users face when sending messages, including poor media quality and lack of security. Eat . . When sending text messages on the old SMS layer. This is one of several attempts by Google to publicly challenge Google's decision to keep iMessage to itself and abandon RCS.
Despite Google's ongoing efforts, Apple has not given up on solving this problem. And unless the EU intervenes, we could be left with years of Apple ignoring Google's pleas and Drake calling people to text him from Android phones.
