    For better or worse you happen to be using the one messaging app that is broadly agreed to be worse than iMessage.

    Signal and Telegram are far superior, even putting aside the most glaring flaws of the other two.

        I’ve successfully converted a spouse, which I don’t think is out of the question w.r.t who I replied to.

        I’ve also converted my main friend group, but appreciate that’s insurmountable for a lot of people - genuinely, people hate change after all. I’m lucky to have a lot of friends who work in tech and are receptive to trying new things.

        Fair enough. It’s kind of an oxymoron to worry about the trust of a given 3rd party messaging app while using products from a known, wide scale, repeated privacy intruder like Meta, but you have what you need in terms of convenience so I won’t make a further case for an alternative.

      I’d say Telegram isn’t superior. It’s default encryption is nowhere near iMessage.

      And if you step up the encryption, you lose group chats.

      For it’s flaws, iMessage is a very good solution, one that Signal was emulating for a while.

        I’m not criticising the UX of iMessage for Apple to Apple comms. It’s solid, and was leader-in-class for a very long time.
