Yes I am aware that it’s not possible for google to implement it, without some kind of lawsuit. Which they should do.
I’m just saying that without it, I really can’t go back to android.
Comment on Google Is Offering Serious Cash to Lure iPhone Users to the Pixel 8
bamboo@lemmy.blahaj.zone 1 year agoUnfortunately it’s not up to Google to get Apple to open their walled garden. Regulation is what is needed here. The EU’s DMA rightfully considers Google a gatekeeper in the Ads, Search, and Browser business. It’s a joke they’re still considering if Apple is a gatekeeper with regard to iMessage for messaging.
Apple has removed your ability to choose for yourself what to buy because of their strong grip with iMessage.

Well, yeah, you can. You just don’t want to

Over here everyone uses WhatsApp. Don’t expect the EU to solve this particular problem for you.

There are some regional differences. But iMessage is definitely not a monopoly anywhere.

Yup, where I live, everyone uses Line. The only time I ever use iMessage is to talk with my brother back in the US. iMessage gets ignored because it’s full of spam for me.

Oh. It very much is in the US for the school aged crowd. Which means in the US there’s currently about 85% of all kids growing up and becoming adults who are used to using an iPhone.

It’s already in the works. All big messenger services will have to allow federation. So that you may use whatever messenger you please. This should break up the iMessage and the WhatsApp lock-in.
