The irony of this is simply you fail to understand the scenarios your coming up with are very much as I noted mainly a US thing and simple do not translate worldwide
Even in the US there are likely more than 100m users not on Imessages and are coping
Coming up with a scenario of Ipad usage knowing WhatsApp is not available is just daft, given the extra safety and usage a simple $50 pay as you go phone provides at all times with or without a WiFi only Ipad in tow. Its what i did with my kids more than 20 years back
Of course I understand different user cases but many are self inflicted for convenance because they can afford it, not because its better
Its a path of least resistance which I can understand, but its not cheaper option or typical other than maybe the US
Well in other news, I've played with the s23u long enough, I need to factory reset it and use it properly now. Kinda scared
Anyway, needs to be done to get rid of all the bits I played with to get used to it.
I'm in school and I send a lot of documents through iMessage. It's very convenient and quick. Also, iMessage has end-to-end encryption, which SMS does not have. Lastly (and most importantly), my mom sends me a lot of videos of my dogs. The videos are clear and crisp through iMessage, but incredibly pixelated and unwatchable through SMS.
I have no idea why you are simply in denial of the global penetration and usage of ImessagesI just completely disagree with you and my daily experience for many years tells me you're wrong. I guess we'll have to just agree to disagree
Yes your correct "MMS" why anyone would send video content via that method today is daft.
I think it not quite true
Apple is exactly the same. Agree to assimilate. I don't care about any of that anymore. Just hit accept and move on with my life.
WhatsApp is end to end encrypted for all platforms. So a group chat using different platforms with a mixture of iPhone and Android is encrypted.
I've had the account for more than three years, so these terms are new. It's similar to Apple / Google but you knew what you were getting before you bought into it. Taking a minute to learn more, I just don't like the take it or leave attitude.
Please don't tell me there are forums for vacuum cleaners that you also actively participate in 😁
Unfortunately they are all the same and to some degree we only have ourselves + the legal system to blame where companies have to protect themselves from what would be an almost endless barrage of legal actions otherwise
You've never heard of VacRumors?
There are, and it's absolutely mad. No, I don't participate because I'm the equivalent of someone using a cheap prepaid phone that gets no software updates, ever. I mean, among my uprights I use a $150 Hoover and I used to own a $80 Bissell. Horrors! I'd be laughed right off the discussions.
Oh wow that's fantastic news! I'm so happy to hear that. Thanks for letting us know!
Gives me the image in my head of the geeks who assemble homemade robots to battle each other.There are, and it's absolutely mad.

Dyson might be okay, but these guys (oddly it's all men, no women that I could detect) don't play...we are talking Riccar, Royal, Sebo. My $800 Miele (that became a dirt-leaking piece of garbage within 3 years) just barely makes the cut. That vac is now my garage vac. Since then I vowed never to go above $450 on a vac again.
Mostly, there seem to be people on YouTube following certain channels just to watch vacuums being demonstrated. The most popular ones pit various models against each other.
The vacs have to plow through mountains of debris consisting of cornflakes, flour, cat litter and pet hair. So basically that's everything that's on the floors of my house except they grind it into carpets, which I absolutely do not permit to happen in my house!
Its basically like monster truck rallies but with vacuum cleaners! 😬
If there are people out there talking about using vacuums to actually clean a house like I do, I didn't find very many of them.
The lack of women was puzzling. I saw a lot of men talking about vacuums their wives have. But mostly I saw men talking about their own vacuums. (Inexplicably my Gboard auto fill just tried to fill a different v word in that last sentence!).
Some women do have reviews on YT channels, but the one I saw just sat there next to her vacuum and talked about it. She was very informative, but I have to admit, I fell in love with the Henry after watching it plow through a gigantic pile of debris during one of the competitions!
So I had a weak moment and tried to switch back to the iPhone this afternoon and it didn't work going back that way. Maybe it was a sign. Somebody slap some damn sense into me. That apple koolaid can be strong after you've had a drink or two of it 😂
My goodness. I thought I was husband of the year for getting my wife a couple of roombas for her birthday and chunking our cheap Hoover vacuum. Don't worry I'm not stupid I got her other things 😂 I didn't realize people were that serious about suction!There are, and it's absolutely mad.

No slapping needed. Lol
