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

@achadwick @caregivers no, delta chat does not integrate with sms messaging. And its maybe a bit premature to recommend delta chat over iMessage for people who otherwise like and are comfortable with iMessage. Maybe ask the question on the support.delta.chat forum to get more opinions?

@delta a mere shower thought, and use case only. Thanks for the honest no bullshit reply. Delta seems an interesting project and I'll be keeping my eye on it! @caregivers
