Comment on Beeper Mini Is Back
Nima@lemmy.world 6 months agoI’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.
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.
oh I understand yeah. certainly. but surely it’s not difficult to explain it to most users.
them understanding or caring about the issue is another issue. brand loyalty is a thing. but then there’s others where brand loyalty isn’t really a choice, it’s just what they’re used to or they’re not skilled enough to understand what the difference is.
i feel that’s a much stronger problem here. that particular subset of people don’t understand the device they are using. they’re basically angry because the green people in their messages don’t look right or don’t load right. that makes it “bad” if you don’t understand why.
basic understanding of the technology you carry in your pocket is lacking for a huge user base. but apple… kind of relies on people not understanding. it makes it easier for apple to go “Green text bad! hate people with that!” and still keep it’s users that might not understand in the dark.

70% of the world is using Google and Apple is giving Google the middle finger.

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