I love this
Apple says it will remove services such as FaceTime and iMessage from the UK rather than weaken security if new proposals are made law and acted upon.

This isn’t about the EU. The UK isn’t in the EU. And I’m not sure why you would trust the government that wants to be able to hack everyone’s phones.

I think it’s the correct response, but in the UK, iMessage is essentially just a way to send SMSs, so won’t really be missed. It doesn’t have the same status as in the US. No idea if anyone uses facetime.

Does android just have a huge market share ? Off the top of my head I think I have three people with ‘green bubbles’ in iMessage and I don’t use WhatsApp at all. Canadian for what it’s worth.

Yes, nearly 71% globally.
Apple is the biggest really only in North America.

Yeh apple is massive in the UK but because WhatsApp came before the apple domination every started using WA. Now, everyone just uses WA. In the IT field WA is a godsend when 99% of users have it.

It’s probably about 50/50. Whatsapp is the most common chat app, though I barely use it.
