I already have a way to unify my messaging across different apps. It's called MacOS and cmd+tab. Sometimes on the road I use something called iOS. Sure it's not the same. But is it that different either?
All messaging apps have their own native features, some have E2E encryption etc. Not sure if there's a common subset that is enjoyable enough to use that it's worth it.
That being said, I do wonder what will be the "Facebook Events" (invite all your friends to an event) equivalent in the future when everyone is in a closed garden chat platform instead of Facebook.

- fastball 5y agoThere is definitely a benefit to having a unified interface. The vast majority of the time I don't want to use each chat apps specific features, I just want to message people. And then sometimes I want to be distraction free and turn off notifications. This is much easier if everything is routed through one app. I'm also on macOS but I've been using Texts[1] for a few months and it has been a great experience.
