[–] Discoslugs@lemmy.world 5 points 3 years ago (3 children) All these text and emoji features that are being added into apple but are not compatible with Android: this seems like a problem.... Until you download signal. It has great features for group messaging, video calling, emojis and is generally feature rich. And it's end-to-end encrypted when messaging other signal users. It's available on iOS and Android. permalink fedilink source hideshow 6 child comments replies: [–] CorruptBuddha@lemmy.ca 3 points 3 years ago (3 children) Does it offer SMS?

Do they also use internet explorer because that's the default too? Even if you're not on Signal, everyone and their mums has WhatsApp, I don't see how this is even an issue! permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] Discoslugs@lemmy.world 3 points 3 years ago So many people use standard clear text messaging and calling.
