"Text message"? What are we - barbarians?

Seriously though, using text messages these days means that inevitably you will encounter the green vs blue issue. Android and Apple phones don't play nice with their text messages. Gods help you if you ever get into a group text message thread with multiple Android and Apple phones. Anytime an Apple user reacts to a message it's sent as a separate text message, "John ๐Ÿคฃ to 'Check out this meme'"

At least with WhatsApp it puts everyone in the same texting playground.

This is such a bummer. Recently one of my friends started considering iPhone just because of this blue/green issue. I hate how big corps are trying their best to f*ck their users

Saving this for later investigation. The idea of having a "middle man" for supposedly E2E encrypted messages seems skeevy to me though. Is it all open source?
