I can’t imagine going iOS. I absolutely cannot. My sister recently switched to an iPhone, and everyone told her that’s stupid, and she hates it, but she has to because her daughter’s school has only iPads and the whole parental control doesn’t work very well in that regard. I wonder whether it’s largely via such avenues that Apple gets a foothold and then due to their utterly closed ecosystem design they can spread throughout families and groups of friends once in. I know they target students heavily for macbooks for example.
What do you mean it doesn’t work very well? But they’re using screen time plus content and privacy restrictions, you should be able to just set a pin on the device itself. With no need to remote manage through family sharing
That’s so wild to me.

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.
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.
