Show HN: Start a Text with 'Like "'
This is such a ridiculous hack. A friend with an iphone sent a text to my Android reading:
Like: "I'm thinking of a number"
Google's Messages app interpreted this as:
to "I'm thinking of a number"
I was like, who are you responding to?!
It took a minute of total miscommunication to realize that Messages must be just using the first six characters to decide if something is a "like" command

- tmcarr 1y agoI suspect the “like” action, thumbs up icon attached to it.
- noduerme 1y agoYeah, sorry. I wrote this in a completely upside down way. If you, on an iphone, write: Like: "Too many squirrels in this town" the Google Messages on Android will show: to "Too many squirrels in this town" Which is the same way it shows if someone thumbs ups a message you never received.
