    seriously, how hard is it to ask your mum to install a single app so you don’t have to pay to message her? what will that take like 5 seconds?

    i have plenty of friends overseas who use ios and we message just fine. surprisingly they didn’t defriend me when i requested they install an app we can both use.

    wtf sort of shitty friends and family do you have??

      I find it intriguing that you’re only just now discovering the challenge facing many smartphone users in the United States, where the use of iMessage is dominant.

      The problem isn’t with 1:1 chats, but with being excluded from group chats. If everybody is chatting on iMessage, I’m sure you can find the challenge in getting everybody to use your preferred alternative.
