If it weren‘t preinstalled. We‘ll then it‘s pretty much Signal for example and that doesn‘t solve the problem. iMessage works because it‘s preinstalled and default.
It‘s a miracle and kind of ironic that SMS being non-free drove the whole world (except the US where it was) away from it.
- x2f10 7y ago>iMessage works because it‘s preinstalled and default. Is this country dependent? It is absolutely on-by-default in the United States.
- v7p1Qbt1im 7y agoTrue. Now that you mention it. I seem to remember having iMessage (the feature) be opt-in in Europe. So the feature is on by default in the US for sure? I guess that somehow negates my earlier post. But I suppose people would notice the green bubbles everywhere and remember to turn it on. Hmm is this a defense against antitrust concerns as well?
- Nextgrid 7y agoiMessage is not opt-in. It's enabled by default even here in the UK. The good thing about it is that it doesn't even require an account, if you just want to use it with a phone number (you need an account if you want to use it with another identity like an email address).
