You know what's really funny? As a Google Fi user for all my cell coverage, but an Apple user for all my phones... Google doesn't let iPhone users send SMS mess

You know what's really funny? As a Google Fi user for all my cell coverage, but an Apple user for all my phones... Google doesn't let iPhone users send SMS messages to Android users out of the box. They've done something custom to their network that mucks up the ability to user an iPhone to send messages. Anyway they're just as guilty as Apple of trying to manipulate users, this whole campaign is just PR. They don't like the fact that their users show up as inferior green-bubbles on Apple devices. But really, these are separate platforms at this point. iMessage, Facebook Messenger, Signal, Snapchapt, AIM, ICQ, whatever else the kids are using today... you can't send messages between them all. And look, dumbing communications down so they aren't using end-to-end encryption has consequences. https://www.theverge.com/2022/8/10/23299502/facebook-chat-messenger-history-nebraska-teen-abortion-case https://www.theverge.com/2022/8/10/23299502/facebook-chat-me...
