> iMessage works on wifi without a cell connection How often are you in a situation where you do have WiFi but don't have a cellular connection? In my experience, the opposite is much more common--not having WiFi but having reliable cellular data. In any case, WhatsApp, Telegram, Messenger, and open source solutions/protocols like Signal also work on WiFi without a cellular connection. > green txts constantly break group messaging to the point where I refuse to add my friends partners who dont have iOS Wow. I feel sorry, not for you, but for your friends who chose to be friends with someone so shallow. > there are no abilities to admin group messaging with green txts (change the name, add/remove people, etc.) Who cares? In more than two decades I have never once felt compelled to change the title of a group text, of all things. How often do you need to add and remove people from an existing group text anyways? Group texts, at least for me, have always been ephemeral--for example, a few messages exchanged to coordinate a date and time for dinner plans, and that's it. If I need to add someone, I'll just make a new group text or relay the information independently, it's not that hard.

How often are you in a situation where you do have WiFi but don't have a cellular connection? In my experience, the opposite is much more common--not having WiFi but having reliable cellular data. Your experience is only your experience. It is not the only experience. Off the top of my head in the last year: Cruise ships, hunting lodges, rural restaurants, in tall buildings, a factory, various places underground like hotel laundry facilities. Wow. I feel sorry, not for you, but for your friends who chose to be friends with someone so shallow. Wow. I feel sorry for you not having a job that entails using a phone. But many other people do, and are in department-wide our team group chats. Again, your experience is not the only experience. In more than two decades I have never once felt compelled to change the title of a group text Congratulations. I envy your simple, orderly, uncomplicated life.

> How often are you in a situation where you do have WiFi but don't have a cellular connection? Whenever travelling to a foreign country without paying for expensive roaming. Happens all the time.. or at least as often as myself or family members travel.

> How often are you in a situation where you do have WiFi but don't have a cellular connection? Ummm, all of the time. Traveling, on a plane, etc. > Wow. I feel sorry, not for you, but for your friends who chose to be friends with someone so shallow. Huh? When your group message constantly breaks so you can't communicate properly its far more respectful to make sure the couple gets the message than not. > How often do you need to add and remove people from an existing group text anyways? I get added to group chats all of the time that I want to leave (due to spamming stuff) but can't because ONE person has an android phone.
