Just another reason iMessage is coming out on top.
- tacker2000 1y agoimessage is irrelevant outside of the US.
- vips7L 1y agoThat literally means nothing when it comes to determining which is the better platform.
- tacker2000 1y agoImessage is a platform also owned by big tech, and the primary motivation and goal of Apple is to keep users locked in to their own ecosystem. As a a result, imessage doesnt support any other mobile platforms properly, and even discriminates against users that dont have an iphone. The world outside of the US doesnt have 80% iphone penetration. How you can say that imessage is any “better” is a complete mystery to me. Both apps (whatsapp and imessage) are just here to serve their big tech overlords in their own bigger picture.
- vips7L 1y ago> How you can say that imessage is any “better” is a complete mystery to me. We’re literally in a thread about being served ads in WhatsApp.
- tacker2000 1y agoThey are both not a good solution to good, secure, ubiquitious and “free” messaging.
- vips7L 1y agoYes let’s keep moving the goal post.
- standardUser 1y agoiMessage is successful because it is designed to reward other iMessage users and punish those who dare not use an iPhone. It's social engineering in the pursuit of profit by the overwhelming market leader (in the US) and it's working really, really well.
