> Why won’t Apple add a disappearing messages feature? Because iMessage frequently falls back to SMS, which means there's zero ability to implement it on the receiver's phone. I don't know if it's more to do with my phone's reception or the other person's or what, but I have text chains that are full of a mix of blue and green bubbles. The idea that blue bubbles will get deleted after a period of time but green bubbles won't would be deeply confusing. Especially when you don't even know what color the message is going to turn out to be until after you send it.
