This is partly why I take issue with the “iMessage green bubbles are anti-competitive” attitude.
Google and Microsoft mishandled chat so badly they basically handed Apple and WhatsApp the crown in the consumer space.
- maest 1y agoThose seem like two unrelated issues.
- lcnPylGDnU4H9OF 1y ago> Apple and WhatsApp Does Meet/Teams even compete with iMessage? They seem to be in competition with FaceTime. Regardless, Apple still shows green bubbles for WhatsApp users and still offers no way to integrate with the e2ee scheme (and therefore reach blue-bubble status) despite WhatsApp also implementing e2ee. The anti-competitive argument is sound regardless of how shit Google Meet is.
- dieortin 1y agoApple doesn’t show green (or any) bubbles for WhatsApp users because WhatsApp is not interoperable with SMS or iMessage
- hysan 1y agoI think Meet replaced Duo which replaced Hangouts; the latter of which was a good competitor to iMessage. I’m not even sure of the history of all their chat apps anymore because they always have multiple alive at the same time competing with each other. All I know is that they have had chat apps that were pretty good but Google could never stick to just one.
