I asked if people chose iPhone for the blue bubbles elsewhere a couple days ago, and while there was some good discourse on that post, the blue bubbles definitely also came up as a reason.
In my experience, when people find out my texts are green, they oftentimes would rather switch to a different platform altogether like Instagram or just not text at all.
Is this actually a deal-breaker in friendships out there?
What model is your iPhone? Maybe it’s something they looked at with newer ones, over the years I’ve never had a drama free experience transferring files from PC to Apple device (or vice versa). In the most extreme case, my clients Apple device would reliably reboot the PC when connected.
Checking in here, 14 pro max and no issues using it with my windows desktops (though I don’t plug in often). I just maintain a mega account to use for file transfer between any of my devices.
My solution for cross-platform device transfers… create a whatsApp group with one friend who then leaves. Now you have a scratch pad on your phone, with whatsApp web the files can be downloaded to your PC / mac. Feels more streamlined than emailing things to myself!
@Transcendant @BURN I do the same with Telegram. My issue with whatsapp was the file size limit and that if my phone was no longer available i’ve lost it all
Good point… I had to do some wrangling back and forth between devices just to get some old messages screenshotted. I know I could back it up to the cloud but I reaaaally don’t want to do that. Telegram is a good shout, guessing the file size limit is much higher there?
