My mum's having more and more difficulty using Apple mail on her iPhone and iPad, and texts get lost in the ether between her (argh!) iMessage and my normal phone, probably as part of a scam to sell more iMessages [fedi meme reference, I'm clever]
She likes iMessage, and would really prefer to use it.
Wondering whether #DeltaChat @delta could be used to bridge the gap, replacing both because a single app would be simpler. Can it send and receive texts/iMessages? @caregivers #OlderPersons
