Semi-unrelated again:
Apple loves to lock you into their ecosystem (need an iPhone to use Apple Watch, etc), but iMessage is incredibly effective and often overlooked. If you use it heavily and want to move away from Apple, your options are to simply not take part in those conversations, or to convince everyone else to switch to something else. It sucks.
- GekkePrutser 5y agoI heard this is really a big thing in the US yeah. Here in Europe iMessage isn't really a thing at all. Probably because apple's marketshare is so much lower. I know many people with iPhones but nobody ever tried to invite me to an iMessage group chat. Nobody even tried to message me with it directly, because it would have switched over to SMS and I've literally never had an SMS from a person. Just automated notifications and spam. Not that we're much better off here because we're still stuck with proprietary stuff like WhatsApp but at least it's not locked to one platform.
