Apple’s own messaging app is extremely fast, powerful and intuitive, but it is an Apple-only service. One thing that I really love about iPhone and iOS in general is the iMessage service. You aren’t the only one missing certain features. Living in a world where everything seems to be related to Android shows you that you make no mistake, but quite the opposite and your transition can be a smooth one. UPDATE: Main reason became obvious - majority of those trends were populated by US citizens and it's iOS market share per user is huge compared to other countries.The idea of switching from iOS to Android is scary for many users. So now I'm looking for Reddit community to explain and assist me - why people tend to admire not multi-accessible iMessage more then they do with common way to connect with people. And in the end, nearly everyone, who has an iPhone already has all those applications installed purely due to the multi-OS communication issues. If you use something common - it's easier to communicate. You don't have an app or Web access to iMessage from non Apple OS and therefore you & your friends are locked to this hardware. iMessage isn't helpful money wise.Īs of communication with people, any kind of multi-OS Messenger (FB Messenger/WhatsApp/Telegram/younameit) brings more people together in an easier way.

I live in Europe and I think there are barely any offers from phone carriers, which do not include free SMS or certain amount of free SMS per month. Whenever people compare iOS & MacOS to alternatives, one of the main points they speak about - is iMessage & FaceTime. I can't really understand the trend lately, in last 1.5 year to be precise.
