Apple uses iMessage as a moat against people switching to Android. They intentionally degrade your experience for their benefit.

    So you're saying WhatsApp isn’t fucking horrible to use on Android?

    Uhhh, I have no idea. I use Element and a bunch of bridges to hit other services. I just meant that iMessage is the only major messaging service that's restricted to just iPhones and the "interop" to Android is intentionally pure shit to pressure everyone to get an iPhone, which is pretty dirty.
