@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 @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. ”
