Almost 100% of my chat messages are through iMessage. The only ones that aren’t are group or individual threads with Android users (which btw have never seemed to be an issue. Reactions and gifs all seem to work fine, albeit in reduced quality compared to messages received via iMessage). Every once in a while someone will message me on Facebook, but that’s usually just to share a funny meme or something. I don’t have WhatsApp, signal, telegram, or any of those even installed.
40’s, male, Ohio, software engineer, for reference.
ETA: this doesn’t count work, where we use teams and slack, but I don’t have those loaded on my phone.
- BobaFloutist 3y agoReactions and gifs work fine for you. They work poorly for the android user. When a friend on an iphone heart emoji reacts to a text, on my end I get a text that says "<user> loved a text". It's obviously not a huge deal, but it's pretty badly executed.
