But what's the situation for most people? Many people's personal messaging eco-system looks like this:
- Out of use: AIM
- Out of use: IRQ
- Out of use: IRC
- Insert your old messanger: here
- Privacy nerds: Signal
- Feature fans: Telegram
- Lonely people: Tinder
- Parents-Generation: WhatsApp / FaceBook / deprecated
- Brick phones (the real privacy nerds): SMS or E-Mail
- Ahead of time people: delta.chat
- Grandparents: E-Mail
Is this any better?
Let's have a different take on this: This company likes to experiment and innovate. :) Glad that this is still possible.
Having said that: Probably naming the messengers in a different manner could receive an overhaul to confuse less people. And: Wouldn't route my chat traffic neither over Apple, Google or any other FAANG+.
- tannhaeuser 5y agoYou forgot XMPP which we used about ten years ago for team chat, and it worked well and still does. The idea being, like with SMS and email and phones and IRC, that multiple client and server implementations can inter-operate. Especially when chat software has been in use for well over 30 years now.
