They say use whatsapp, they say use zoom - Divisions by zero

For me it’s family and friends wich refuse to switch from whatsapp to signal for example
Fuck WhatsApp. All my homies use Signal.
Sadly all my homies still use WhatsApp. So it’s though for me to switch.
Maybe it’s because I don’t talk to that many people for it to seem significant, but is there an issue with just sending someone a standard text message?

“Text message”? What are we - barbarians?

Seriously though, using text messages these days means that inevitably you will encounter the green vs blue issue. Android and Apple phones don’t play nice with their text messages. Gods help you if you ever get into a group text message thread with multiple Android and Apple phones. Anytime an Apple user reacts to a message it’s sent as a separate text message, “John 🤣 to ‘Check out this meme’”

At least with WhatsApp it puts everyone in the same texting playground.

This is such a bummer. Recently one of my friends started considering iPhone just because of this blue/green issue. I hate how big corps are trying their best to f*ck their users
