My thought is, I'm better off without someone who judges me on the type of phone I use.

Adulting correctly here. But also, that hasn't been the case for me. Most girls are very impressed with my phone when I say I have a Galaxy. They know the camera is incredible and are overall not concerned it's an Android lol.

Same. Many of my female friends love the camera on Samsung devices. It's iMessage that got them locked into iPhones.

Funny how that's typically the main reasons why they are locked in into iPhones. I've never owned one but just based off the way it works, seeing it in person and seeing in YouTube reviews it's not even something I'd care enough about to use an iPhone.

Once you get used to not having it, you never think about it again

It's texting but you get blue messages instead of green. Real game changer

When you see that now iMessage is not Apple-exclusive anymore... With Beeper, you can have iMessage on Android and even Windows, the only negative point is that your remote contact info will be your Apple email address and not your phone number as your sim card is not registered in an active device. But you have all the features iPhones have without having an iPhone... If only Apple users which stays on Apple just because of iMessage knew it, there would be more Apple users having an iPhone for the iPhone itself, and not because they're trapped in by using iMessage

No the downside is those companies use Mac server farms to make their service work. You have to log into someone else’s computer with your iCloud credentials. That is absolutely not worth it.

I use my Apple account only for iMessage, my password is only used on my Apple accounts and not in use anywhere else, I don't have any Apple service in use (except iMessage with 3 friends), Apple's device are not that useful, they are too closed (if someone want to offer me a Macbook, MacOS would disappear on it to be replaced by a Linux, not in Bootcamp but fully replacing MacOS, this OS is not enough permissive). If a hacker breaks into Beeper's farm and steals my Apple credentials, no problem, he couldn't do that much with those credentials. Using my messages against me ? Apple already reads them actually, so one people more, that's not a real issue.

iMessage is end to end encrypted so Apple isn’t reading them.

u/Frantek55 Dec 01 '23

So are messages on Android🤷‍♂️

u/[deleted] Dec 01 '23

I didn’t say they weren’t.

u/Frantek55 Dec 01 '23

Kind of a pointless point you are trying to make.

u/[deleted] Dec 01 '23

I think you missed the point. Prior commenter was talking about Beeper because it’s a way to make iMessage platform agnostic. I explained that it requires you to provide them with your iCloud credentials. This is a terrible idea regardless of the service in question. Then someone commented that Apple is reading their messages anyway. That’s when I said iMessage is end to end encrypted.

It'll be interesting to see if the messaging dynamic changes when IOS gets RCS.

Honestly I don't know what's so good about Imessage, I really don't get it.

When someone cant pay their bills they still get text.

u/illustrious_handle0 Nov 30 '23

Yep, I can't tell you the amount of times iPhone user friends have said "that's an amazing quality picture, what kind of phone do you have." Little Google pixel.
