@BenSatterthwai2@KibbeWater@LeakerApple Android users want choice - not a specific bubble color or app or phone. They want to CHOOSE feature rich, E2E encrypted chat. Beeper mini gave that to them with more of their contacts - did it for i📱 users TOO! That i📱 users don't want this proves it's about the color to them.
@FlameO63 @MacRumors Why isn't Apple's decision to limit their users' ability to send secure, E2E encrypted, high quality messages to all their contacts concerning?
@Ani1u71@jolingkent@amyklobuchar@SenMikeLee@RepJerryNadler @RepKenBuck @CBSMornings The next best competitive option is an app that fills the gap in E2E encrypted, high quality message communication as a default between iPhones and Android devices. If legislation protects this, it should be built.
@Ani1u71@jolingkent@amyklobuchar@SenMikeLee@RepJerryNadler @RepKenBuck @CBSMornings By its locked in nature, Apple's messaging app cannot have competition. Unless Apple allows third party apps to be the default SMS/MMS/chat app, there's no competition. They won't do that. In the US, other chat Apps have no chance. That's anti-competitive.
@ericmigi@onbeeper So much FUD has been spread since @Apple's response to Beeper Mini. I've yet to see an explanation as to how Beeper Mini will actually lead to more, as Apple put it, "unwanted messages, spam, and phishing attacks." Can someone explain?
@JROD1618@realseamusdykmg@AnxiousHolly The "features" of iMessage that Beeper brought to Android are not exclusive to iMessage or iPhone. They and more are in many OS agnostic messaging apps. It's not entitled to want to use those features with all the people you communicate with. Building that bridge is a good thing.
