When will Apple drop suppport for iMessage?

[Zxxv]

When ever I want privacy I tell the person I’m talking with to get out of the app and use iMessage. Why be a victim of data harvesting.

Tomorrow. At 5:59 pm.

OP is a funny person. It's like saying "the iphone was a mistake". It really amazes me when people are so cocooned and egocentric that they have no awareness of what's really happening around them.

Apple will drop iMessage support when the iPhone can no longer make phone calls.

This exactly. I don't know a single person that uses WhatsApp while 90% of the people I communicate with regularly show as blue bubbles on my iPhone.

I do, but it’s all international friends—or American friends traveling. I don’t have a single American friend who uses it to contact people within the U.S.

Where is OP? I have yet to see him come back and comment on the mess he left here.

Apple isn’t like Google...switching messaging apps every so often because none of them caught on. Because Apple has stuck with it since day one, users have confidence in iMessage enough to use it long term. Not the case with other apps.

You can talk to Android devices and desktop Macs via iMessage. Yea, you have to set it up properly but that only takes a minute.

Case closed.
