@nigelwnw @Apple Yes, true for both, iMessage and Whatsapp. So it MUST be coming from an API in iOS. Problematic, to say the least.

@ColinBentleyArt He was probably looking for some warmth.

Shall we introduce a new abbreviation, @JuliaBramble? TSMNFKAT - The Social Media Network formerly known as Twitter. So much quicker and easier to pronounce....

Last time one person could know everything was around 1500, Leonardo da Vinci. Since then it went downhill and we even had to invent search engines. Gain new #freedom by accepting that missives of people who aren't visible at once are probably less important than you think. 😀
