Do people in the UK even use those
Are you serious?
I don’t really know anyone that uses them. Myself and friends/family just use WhatsApp for everything. Haven’t used FaceTime for many years now
That’s cool but the answer is an obvious and resounding yes, yes they do.
With you on this. Don’t know anyone either. WhatsApp or telegram!
Whenever I see articles about iMessage/RCS/SMS I see all the comments about how it’s a really American thing and how people in other countries use WhatsApp/others
I was going to ask the same. I didn’t know anyone outside the US used iMessage.
Yes, many people in the UK use iMessage. It’s not as popular as WhatsApp, but it is used.
Facebook Messenger is also popular here, particularly among older people.
Yes. I’ve got a handful of UK friends who use iMessage/FaceTime pretty heavily. WhatsApp is the other one some of them use.
Damn, that’s wild. They’ll change out ports, open up the App Store, but this is the hill they die on. Interesting.
The main draw for me about iMessage, being able to answer my texts on any of my devices, can be done just with Messages by Google on my Pixel, making a Webapp Shortcut of messages.google.com on my iPad, and the same for my Linux machine. (I imagine the privacy of all that ain’t great)
If someone wants to FaceTime me they can text me a link to the call and I open it on the iPad.
Like, all the features that make iMessage/Facetime unique can be replicated if you don’t care about tap backs, bubble color, and memoji . Save the encryption, but I imagine most people back that up on iCloud so they can be searched.
Are they going to change to usb-c? My moneys still on them going full wireless instead.
I thought they already announced they’re going with usb-c on the new iPhone.
