It's wild to me too.

The strangest thing was when I learned that teenagers bully the ones who have Android because they mess up with the iMessage chats. So weird.

The strangest thing was when I learned that American teenagers bully the ones who have Android because they mess up with the iMessage chats. So weird.

FTFY. In the rest of the world no one uses either SMS or iMessage.

I live in Europe, and I've heard this kind of comments in Apple-only families too. Someone I know got an iPhone to be able to access the family chat.

When, he then discovered that iOS wasn't for him, and then got a Pixel again, but still.

Lol so he had to get an iPhone for family chat, then I'll bet still had to install WhatsApp for all his friend's group chats.

I wish RCS came about faster. It's been so long. Group MMS actually sucks.

There are only two, proprietary RCS Android chats. We should be using a different, open, protocol.
