@CliffWade I'm currently using Android but that's about to change for the following reasons:
My son is a teenager and going into high school and my wife is a high school teacher. According to her the vast majority of students are on iOS so it will be a better experience for my son if he's on iOS.

I've used Android now for over a decade and have been just beat down by always feeling like I'm a beta tester.

@CliffWade Messaging has been atrocious and forever changing - it's just annoying at this point. My breaking point was trying to video call my wife from the grocery store last week, what had Google done? Disabled Duo and made it forced switch to Google Meet and wouldn't allow the video call. I'm just done.

@headpunk These basic things here are what drives me to use iOS way more than I use Android.

@headpunk @CliffWade You are πŸ’― correct. I wrote about this last year because Google S-U-C-K-S when it comes to treating their users right.

Here's the juicy part of it:

β€œGoogle kept killing apps, releasing new ones, extolling how it was THE way to go, then killing it shortly thereafter. It's pretty hard to convince someone to jump onto a new messaging platform only to convince someone to do the same time and again. There's a reason WhatsApp and Facebook Messenger have staying power: they've stayed. ”
