Just kinda curious do you guys ever run into issues of lacking imessage (like your friends unwilling to use another app) or is it just a over blown issue.

    The main culprit was in the rest of the world sms is very expensive meaning people early on where forced and got used to third party apps. In US by contrast sms is usually free/unlimited. As such people initially didn’t bother using thirdparty apps and when apple rolled out imessage the default sms app kinda became a pseudo standard (like whatsapp).

    At least thats one theory

    • Sure, that’s certainly part of it. But then we don’t usually have the really weird clique thing, I use whatever app I need to becuse random people use random things. If my attitude towards people was to denigrate them based on their bubble color well that would really be a thing for therapy
