Doesn’t matter if your friends don’t use it

  Literally everywhere else in the world, people don't use iMessage and FaceTime, but third-party apps. This is solely an American problem manufactured by Americans for Americans, and catalysed by the excessive vapidity and superficiality of social media. You lot appear to like shooting yourselves in the foot a lot (sometimes, not even figuratively). Ergo the bullying that OP's son is experiencing. Android phones have rivalled iPhones in price for a long time now.

    Stop using the word literally incorrectly.

      No. He’s literally using the word l”literally” correctly in every instance. Try looking up he definition some time: it may not be what you think.

        Link to what you think the definition is please.

    It's like the Matrix. The Machines won. The kids would rather be dead than singled out, and the adults have convinced themselves iPhone is the end all, be all even in this comments section. Meanwhile, I'm an exiled American eating scraps or whatever. I can tap into their world with a primitive interface like Discord, but I'm not exactly thrilled about it. If I'm in the real world, I should be able to manipulate their artificial construct, but it's actually a self-imposed walled garden. They don't want to leave, and they want to keep outsiders at bay. The Machines are perfect guard dogs.

  Are they your "friends" if they refuse to use a common app? I have Whatsapp, Telegram and Signal installed, so my REAL friends ( some of them on iPhones) can reach me on the app they prefer.
