Yes, the bubble issue does not exist if we use cross platform messaging apps. Nobody is forced to use iMessage. It' mostly an US issue.
Europeans, latin Americans and other large demographics, don't have the bubbles struggle because people don't default to iMessage but cross platform messaging platform to not discriminate anyone. Crazy, I know.
- Klonoar 3y agoI know. I have lived outside the USA and this is not lost on me. You are missing the point though. The social issue exists in the USA and that is what they're complaining about. It does not matter what the rest of the world does when this thread is based on that - in a thread about US iPhone market share, no less. Cross-platform-apps would've been the solution for this already if they had any shot of doing so.
- elondaits 3y agoIn Argentina everyone is on WhatsApp… but it’s not “to not discriminate anyone”. It’s because when WhatsApp came about we were still paying through the nose for SMS… so it was seen as “free text messages”. Then voice messages became super popular because it’s faster for people on phones with no/bad dictation and subpar/broken touchscreens and/or predictive not adjusted for local language (Spanish varies wildly from country to country, specially colloquially).
