Other than blue bubbles, why do you use iPhone? (lemmy.world)

Yes, I'm the one in the group DM that turns the bubbles green, I'm sorry.

But other than that, I don't hear many other reasons why people actually prefer iPhones over Androids. What other reasons are there?

Google doesn’t have vision or taste in my opinion. They released a million messaging apps and STILL haven’t made a decent one. Its been how many years and they still use SMS on most androids and people have to rely on whatsapp, a Fcaebook app… now they’re releasing their new “standard” RCS which has competing versions some with end to end encryption by default and some without.

They STILL don’t have a FaceTime alternative unless you use whatsapp…

Google knows how to show ads and everything else has so little passion and vision i dont trust any of their services because they love to kill their products

Isn't Google Meet (previously Duo) kinda like FaceTime?

[–] nxlemmy@lemmy.ml 5 points 2 years ago (4 children)

The fact that most people cant answer that is the problem. More people have android phones than iphones yet everyone knows FaceTime and no one knows a name for video calling on android phones. Android users dont have a culture to video calling where as people with iphones casually facetime eachother instead of doing phone calls.

Must be another American thing, like blue bubbles. I know plenty of people with iPhones and nobody uses facetime.
