It’s for sending text messages. Please can we have some apps that just remain simple and don’t have to metastasise into social networks mining our thoughts? You know what app I never use on my phone? The phone app. Is there any actual anxiety about this? Does it need to morph into a Clubhouse-style swamp of dark patterns trying to turn audio in money? No. It just needs to sit there for when I might need to phone someone.
