Comment on Beeper reverse-engineered iMessage to bring blue bubble texts to Android users
nolannice@lemmy.world 11 months agoI think it’s hated because they’re synonymous with broken group chats and low res photos. Hopefully EU forcing rss adoption fixes these instead of having to download an app to ‘fit in’.

why should the EU have anything to do with who “fits in”?

EU implements legislation forcing Android + Apple to use standards that actually work properly with each other. (they usually spearhead this type of change)
People using android no longer break group chats or have terrible sent image/video quality when messaging Iphone users.
With this ammunition gone, teens stop using it to attack each other for their familys (lack of) income. Ie those kids ‘fit in’ better.

Oh, OK. I did misunderstand what you were saying.
BearOfaTime@lemm.ee 11 months ago
I’d say it’s people using Apple that break group chats, since Apple doesn’t utilize SMS/MMS correctly.
Not Android’s fault that Apple butchers MMS quality.
Though carriers have some culpability here, even if a carrier allowed higher quality MMS (Verizon), iPhone still wouldn’t use that capability, while Android can if configured to do so.

Thats a fair argument; though in this context it’s more about how the teens causing social issues perceive it.
It’s not the Iphone users getting picked on in schools.
