@Casey I’m in Europe and have the opposite problem. I’d love my friends to use iMessage instead of crappy WhatsApp, that still can’t work on devices other than phones. Other apps solve this problem, but most people won’t install them. WA is the same kind of monopoly here as IM in the US

@Casey This is a US only problem which can be easily be fixed by installing the app your friend is on. In India everyone is on WhatsApp, even iPhone users. Telegram is pretty the much the best in terms of features. iMessage simply lacks features that people in India need.

so it really is JUST this mf that's got iMessage in my side bar, right now?
frankly, given my experiences digging into Telegram, these past few weeks, I'm surprised/delighted to see it lumped in. https://t.co/cfrwLjpdwZ

@gahboom @piemadd @iupdate @Apple Not to iMessage. rSC for non iPhone messages ( last time I looked ) with who runs team it might change on a daily basis ) so would work like now ( iMessage to iMessage ) rSC to RSC … issue is worldwide many provider still not worldwide support of it

@ZoneOnePlaya @Casey Nope and I don't blame them because group MMS messages suck. Group RCS and group iMessage conversations are great. The whole cross platform experience breaks down because Apple refuses to adopt the new open standard for high quality messaging.

@Casey iMessage won’t be a problem as long as u r all in the US. Messages work just fine even between platforms.
FaceTime will be a problem. Looking at the #Pixel6Pro , I’d say it’s a small price to pay @madebygoogle

Opportunity: Apple should create iMessage+ and sell it for $9.99/month. Android and Windows access to iMessage. What say you, @profgalloway? #walledgarden #teardownthesewalls #apple #android

@_Bethesdad @MattSmitty_ @Casey This is an issue on Apple's end actually, as they refuse to support RCS. RCS is a replacement for the outdated SMS with every feature that iMessage has.

@AbrahamJSB @justchilliando @iupdate Its the default messaging app on Android, harnessing RCS.
The benefit? Apple could integrate RCS into iMessage no problem and we'd finally have a worldwide messaging solution, but Apple doesn't want to do that as it will be one less reason to stay on Apple's ecosystem.

@ReginaldShoe42 @AnnTony144 @Casey It's a small inconvenience with the images and photos. But I believe Apple had fixed this issue with the new update. I prefer the Google Phones to iphone, I also do not miss iMessage. We can do the same type messaging with other Android devices!

@sondesix people worrying about no imessage on android is such a first world problem IMHO. Here in the philippines, where most people are on android, they rely mostly on SMS to the point that even iphone users stick to SMS. Data is so expensive here we barely ever use it for imessage

@Casey Tbh don't leave Apple if iMessage and Facetime is that important to you.
That's kind of the issue with Apple having +50% of market share in the US (and ~90% of teenagers) and alienating the Android folks. I try not to get too attached for this reason but I don't blame ya if u do

When we had our firstborn, my wife almost by instinct opened a whatsapp group for sharing photos.
I immediately shot that thing down, and opened an iMessage group instead.
For 1 reason only : Live Photos!

@cwlcymro Yup. I’m cautiously optimistic that Apple will adopt RCS (because let’s be honest—there’s no way they’re releasing iMessage for Android) and that will at least fix some of the issues.

@Casey Ultimately this is an Apple issue. They're the reason why iMessage and FaceTime are available for Android. They're purposely making it an inconvenience to keep people in their ecosystem.

@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.

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

@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.

Some people seem to think that features and cross-platform funtionality = reliability. WhatsApp even went down a few days ago ffs.
