    So your answer is “everyone I know with an apple device should stop using the thing that apple made sure works wonderfully for them and shift to another app to talk to me.”

    That’s just not in touch with reality at all. What people actually do is keep using iMessage and sending shitty compressed media to android users. That’s the problem people are actually complaining about, not some “bubble color” strawman.

      It’s a 40/60 split in the market. It’s not like a friend group is likely to have only one android phone. Unless the iPhone users are avoiding people with Android phones.

      Saying people should use a system agnostic message app isn’t farfetched or selfish. It’s the common sense solution.

        You are absolutely correct. I’m an iOS user and have absolutely no qualms using anyone’s preferred message app (as long as it’s not WhatsApp, fuck fb).

        People have always hated on apples Windows apps, the same is probably true if they have to start making android apps too.

        It’s literally the correct decision for them not to make an iMessage for android, the only people demanding it are the people who aren’t buying their products!
