- sending messages over data (obviously)

    Much clunkier. his was fixed with RCS, fortunately, but that was the norm for some decade or so when talking with iPhones.

    • Oh, do iPhone users also see those messages when an android user is in the chat?

      I had assumed that reactions worked fine for them and they were unaware that their iPhone was making them look like a bit of a buffoon to the rest of us.
