>It's happening everywhere in the world apart from the USA so that's clearly not where the blockage is. It has more to do with iMessage having a critical mass of users in the USA. Outside of the USA people are "switching" messaging Apps? Or just continuing to use what they have always used? >Apple competitors have technology which are similar to airdrop notably Huawei. Nobody uses Huawei here in the US so that point is moot. >and there are plenty of apps offering solutions to this issue. I like airdrop but generally speaking Android sharing options are superior to iOS. What are these Android sharing options that are superior to iOS? Do they have to be installed? iOS has Airdrop built in requiring no installation or configuration. If they have to be installed they are automatically not superior. >It is easier to send anything towards any apps on Android which makes your point about the 5+ steps kind of moot in my opinion. No it isn't? I have used both Samsung and Apple devices for 10+ years. It is always easier to share between iOS devices and Macs.
