Really? I felt the presentation of iMessage was embarrassingly trying to seem hip. The only thing I didn't find to be annoying bloat was the ability to tap and "like" a message. Really cuts down on messages like "great" and "ok." Otherwise it honestly felt like Yahoo Messenger from 2005 in level of bloat, where you could "buzz" people and shake their windows. People use things that aren't iMessage, not because of features, but because they are cross platform and secure. Apple doesn't have that, so everything to me just felt like texting with bloatware.
I don't find those features confusing, just annoying.
- chillacy 10y agoI dunno, I think my parents will like it. One of the great features of snapchat is the ability to caption images with stickers and text. It's a lot of fun.
- alttab 10y agoOne of the other great features is being able to send a snap to someone on an Android device.
- yoz-y 10y agoNo. People use other apps because they have a large adoption and stickers (we chat and line) or because they were free while sms were not (whats app). Only us tech nerds care about security.
- EugeneOZ 10y agoBut not only nerds think about cross-device compatibility.
- yoz-y 10y agoOf course, that is how you get to the large user base. but I think it is wrong to assume that users care about security. If they did nobody would use SMS, email or Mc Donald's wifi but here we are. It is a very important feature, but it does not sell.
- adamors 10y agoI have an iPhone but most of my friends don't. I don't even remember the last time I opened up iMessage. This update won't change that.
