@imPatrickT @Noah_the_nerd NA seems to be the only market that actually cares about iMessage.
If it works for you're family there's no problem with that, I won't say what you should do or not, it's just not a common problem worldwide.

@MithrandilPlays @avinayakan98 @Casey If Apple's sales crash because iMessage lockin was gone that doesn't speak well of Apple's overall appeal.

@iJonniM @SkylledDev FB Messenger is really good but I think people have lost faith in Facebook. Unfortunately Whatsapp is also a part of them & we see the rise of Telegram & Signal. But again, fragmentation. The biggest issue why there is no iMessage alternative. Spoilt for choice.

@Casey Feels like this just isn’t a problem in UK. Pretty much everyone I know has an Android and they all use WhatsApp so I never really use iMessage/FaceTime etc anyway.

@Derik140 @iupdate iMessage is literally what WhatsApp is it used wifi or data to message not sms and when sms goes down iPhone users can still message each other

Whether you want to use Android or iOS is a personal choice that comes down to a functionality vs ecosystem preference. But if you're one of those people who refuses to use any other messaging app besides iMessage, just know you're part of the problem

iMessage is trending, I read the tweets and I don't understand the problem because I definitely have group chats going with a mix of both iphone and android users?

Lawyer question. If I’m texting with a client can I bill “reacting” to a text in IMessage? I want to say a thumbs up/ down/ exclamation counts but the “Haha” does not. @ClueHeywood @BunkiePerkins

@Casey iMessage is not a must for me anymore im fortunate because living in the UK meant most of my friends had to download whatsapp and I find that experience to be better... U can unsend texts. That applies to facetime. The biggest problem which might surprise u is when I edit photos

@NexusBen You’re a terrible person for liking iMessage? Jesus, bro. Turn down the drama. He said nothing about ignoring anyone. When you have something good going with an unmatched messaging app like iMessage, there’s no point going backwards and convincing others to do so.

@MikeIsaac @PatrickMcGee_ I would say that’s part court case and part sniping at Apple. iCloud backups - including your iMessages! - are still not E2E, and then the CSAM client side scanning has compounded the issue further. I think WhatsApp has come out publicly saying they won’t do client side scans.

@pranav_agrwl @VincentVandyck @dreamertje1 @EvanEdinger @Casey Who said anything about Apple being innovative? I just asked how is WhatsApps more reliable than iMessage. Nobody has answered that. Some people seem to think that features and cross-platform funtionality = reliability. WhatsApp even went down a few days ago ffs.

@MonsieurBidule @Casey This is actually a problem, my best man and sister made a group chat to communicate times to the cousins for my wedding. Well they forgot to add me, but they couldn't add me later because they created it with iMessage and included android users so no one else could be added.

@matmatboi @GioakG @sdw @Casey The problem isn't really "downloading the app," it's more so that the alternatives don't offer enough value to North American users to counteract the convenience of iMessage and other optimized Apple services. Especially not with the majority of the market being on iPhone.

@Casey Easy. Anybody worth a damn will not care if you use something other than iMessage. If somebody has a problem with you using an Android phone that they refuse to contact you, you got bigger problems than what phone you are using.

@Casey Apple locks down their ecosystem to solely them. Android serves many manufacturers, so there cannot be one anticompetitive app for all. People like Android because they have choice. And many apps do what iMessage/Facetime does and arguably better in some cases.

@Casey given the other replies to this the easiest fix by far seems to be "lobby the current administration to nationalize iMessage"

@davidrepola @RealZellyk We're in agreement then. The answer is different for every group, but it boils down to "we find a solution."
If you have a group of all iOS folks, then iMessage is a valid solution. But there have to be other solutions than excluding friends/family.

@THEWORINDLVE Have you experienced IMessage as of late? The flow of conversion and the shareable things with replies and emojis and text based animations… it’s a whole microcosm in there. We have literally kicked an android user out of group IMessages cause he brought down the enjoyment.

@Casey Here , in the USA - most smartphone users like Apple , if you travel abroad you will be surprised how the rest of the world prefers Android phones. The big difference is this - Google has everything open but Apple needs to open iMessage and Facetime- problem solved.

@Casey It's not that Android phones are "inferior" or technically incapable of running iMessage -- Apple simply doesn't allow it. Non-tech people don't get that. It's a problem Apple both created and sells the solution to.
Don't enable them. #stopusingimessage
