I have yet see a meaningful difference between Whatsapp and iMessage. The degraded media happens because Apple like to use non standard formats for media and the framework of iMessage is based around compatibility with MMS and SMS. MMS is pretty limited even in the age of 5g. Apple could easily allow iMessage to work on android but they don't because they know people will buy iPhones for iMessage.

- colinmhayes 5y agoWhatsApp is just as good as iMessage. The problem is almost no iPhone users in the US use it in my experience. Everyone is happy with their iMessage.
- pmontra 5y agoWhat do people with Android phones use, SMS? In Europe not only Android is dominant but people use WhatsApp or Messenger. iPhone owners must use them too as their primary messaging app. I guess they have their iMessage full with SMS from banks and other notifications, like my Android SMS app.
- navjack27 5y agoYes Or mms or rcs. Sometimes you could be texting another person on an Android that's just on a different carrier and for whatever reason you can't get the rcs status. And this applies to way more than just texting... Some carriers let calls that stay within their own network sound way better. Switch sims and boom, crap quality. I use whatever The other person wants to use though. Telegram, discord, Skype, email, text, Twitter, whatever
- Nextgrid 5y agoIt's "as good" except for Zuckerberg creeping around in the shadows and using Whatsapp as a backdoor to your contacts list to infer who you're talking to. Apple has yet to do this and so far there's little indication they are going to. WA having terrible uptake in the US is a good thing.
- navjack27 5y agoThis is the truth.
