    I’m not either. considering that over 70% of the world is on android, you’d think the compatibility problem would be laid on Apple and not 3rd party applications.

      iMessage lock in is almost exclusively a US problem (maybe EU, but i have no experience living there so i’m not sure). I’m from Malaysia and 99% of communication here is done through whatsapp and I know this is true for many other countries too. Line is frequently used in korea, Wechat in china, etc. It was only when I moved to the US that I used iMessage in any serious capacity

        To be fair, I am using Google (via Android) and am also giving Google (Chrome) the middle finger.

      But Apple users don’t care enough to solve the issue. Partly they see it as an Android problem,if they see the problem at all.

      In their defense, they have a messenger that works well, syncs to the desktop, sends high quality, etc, to other iOS users. So I can understand their not wanting to switch, or even seeing an issue.
