  No thanks, iMessage is much better and not owned by Facebook.

    Damn Straight.

    My sense is that zeitgeist has shifted on this in the last year no?
    • School-Cotton 3y ago
      In what way?
  • krater23 3y ago
    It's owned by Apple. Thats not better. Same shit, other asshole.
  • gardenhedge 3y ago
    How is iMessage better? WhatsApp is a great app.
    • icehawk 3y ago
      Apple's business model is predicated on me buying things from them. Facebook's business model is predicated on being able to sell access to me to third parties. I can control the first one directly.
      • gardenhedge 3y ago
        That is not related to how the app works though

  So I can give my data to Meta? No thanks.
• mardef 3y ago
  I really don't want to give meta any of my business.
• School-Cotton 3y ago
  Why? What is so great about it? It seems practically identical to signal and, if everyone is already on iOS, strictly worse than iMessage.
  • dgellow 3y ago
    Runs on android, windows, web, macOS, iOS.
    • School-Cotton 3y ago
      So does signal.
      • dgellow 3y ago
        Sure, and telegram does too. I was responding to someone talking about iMessage
        • bombcar 3y ago
          I can’t really tell the difference between signal telegram teams discord et al. But messages falls back to sms and that I can notice.

        I can't find a web client?
        • School-Cotton 3y ago
          Guess you’re right.
      • krater23 3y ago
        Tried it in the early days where Whatsapp was buyed by facebook. Signal lost messages in group chats, Signal lost messages in normal chats. Thats was the way to my blacklist. Droped Signal caused by unreliability. Additionally, same as now iMessage, close out of other clients. Other asshole, same shit.

  I've been using Signal since it was Text Secure and Red Phone. I've got most of my friend group switched over to it

  British-American here. WhatsApp is very good despite its owners. Way better than anything else which is why we continue to use it for group chats. There’s no other good group chat encrypted option for both iPhone and Android.
• ivanjermakov 3y ago
  I don't consider any of these as a viable option.
• etrautmann 3y ago
  It felt like most of the US was on whatsapp and then everyone moved to signal and telegram
