They might have all lost to Discord and they just don't realise it yet!
My kids / tweeners and their friends all use Discord.
They all have iPads and iPhones too.
All they iMessage for is to message me and ask for food
Discord is fun and encourages community and exploration, as well as one on one messaging.
I can't see why they'd move to iMessage.
And before you claim it's just for gamers... it's not, they are all on it! Boys and girls.
Even the parents who organise for kids to get together k ow to share their children Discord ID!
iMessage is the Facebook of the messaging world.
Used be billions but yesterdays news.
- lostmsu 5y agoDiscord is terrible for privacy though. No sane parent should encourage use of Discord for that reason alone. They collect literally everything they can get their hands on.

- asdff 5y agoThey will use imessage again when they aren't sitting in their rooms chatting. Waiting for a discord to load on a spotty mobile connection is no fun. Meanwhile imessage, either through its own channels or via sms, just works, and is still the best way to get a hold of people you know in real life, since the audio fallback is just as reliable too.
- bee_rider 5y agoDiscord is just the current iteration of the free messaging app treadmill. They aren't (or at least weren't, last I checked) profitable. Eventually they'll be bought and have to monetize somehow, which everyone will hate, and then we'll all move on to some other platform. As long as they are spending investors' money, though, they'll be great!
