iMessage features not present in MMS:
* Reactions
* Threaded replies (1 level deep)
* You can name group chats and give them a custom image / icon (makes it easier find a group in the list). The name and image is applied for everyone in the group, making it a social thing
* You can add / remove someone to a group without having to create an entirely new group chat
* higher quality images / videos
* works over wifi, without a cell signal
* blue bubbles (purely
aesthetic, no functional difference, but some people treat it as a status symbol)

I really don’t like the lock-in / network effect, but I get why it exists.
It’d be nice if a common standard somehow became widespread.
Note: It seems reactions are sort of working across platform in recent months? Not sure the latest on this.
