iMessage isn’t a big loss in the UK. FaceTime would be.

WhatsApp pulling out of the UK would have the biggest impact. Almost everyone uses it here.

Can confirm, it had swipe to reply for a while now, it’s coming to iMessage in next iOS… The only thing that annoys me about WhatsApp is the high picture compression resulting in low quality images.

If you need to send uncompressed images send it as a "document" rather than an image. You won't get the preview but it'll be the same file as on your phone.
