I think it has to do with the messagin app. For some reason in the us it's still common to use plain sms messages, which on an iPhone get translated to the blue bubble, but when sent to an android become the infamous green bubble.

This is however not the case in the EU bc sms messages were still expensive enoughfuring that time that when whatsapp released, everyone did the switch so as to not to pay the sms fees, and now, even if sms are basically free, everyone uses whatsapp as the default messaging app.

And as we know on whatsapp there's no differentiation of anything regarding the device you are sending messages to, so no constant reminder of "this guy had an android".

Just my 2 cents on why this could be.

hmmm got it, might be intrtrsting to do an experiment where u look up your facebook feed, see what products u get ads for, yhrn talk with a friend over on whatsapp about a certain product or typr of product u want to buy, and then check if u start getting ads for said product

It is good to know what's going on out there, I haven't touched facebook in years and I didn't know there was now the possibility to oay for it and you'd get a screen like this.

This info can alwaya be valuable and I'm thankful this guy posted it

What can facebook really gather from whatsapp? Asfaik messages are encrypted, and other than that I'm not really giving info to whatsapp, like my estado and date of birth but that's pretty much it.

Like I get it from facebook, you are constantly looking things up that can tell what u like, hobbies, or political affiliation, but whatsapp?

an explanation of the joke :D, he is saying more binary in a gigabyte, I get what u mean with the transistors but he aint talking about that, he talks about being able to fit more data (binary, the raw data, ones and zeroes) in the same space (one gigabyte, like 1024^9 or around 1billions spaces for the ones and zerors) bc ofc, it's apple so they somehow can save morr info in the same amount of space, that's whatvhe meant :)

and if u spend another 200 it goes from 16 to 32, so apparrntly somehow 8gb can cost 200 or 100 bc apple

I agree, still having to input the money manually is the best failsafe, how many people are used to just automatically hitting whatever button to make a message go away for example (even more with the cookies), best failsafe is inputting the money manually, you'd never mistakenly/automatically do that.

Idont't think that's a good idea, too many peoplr quickly pressing pay and then they tealizef only afyer paying thay there's an extra 0
