when it sucks:
* sending photos - rarely needed for me, but when I need it I "kinda really" need it, but you can probably work around it by buying better flip phone
* not seeing emojis in SMS
* when you need quick access to internet e.g for map, some info. I never needed it(I try to remember pathes/ways either via map or google maps or just ask people at the place), but I'm sometimes worried that I may need it
Shockingly SMS works fine, nobody ever had problem with it.
>Messenger
I use FB like once a week on my PC/Laptop because I'm studying and unfortunely it is must have
>I'm a similar age and so much of my socializing takes place on digital platforms like those, especially during COVID.
on my PC/Laptop I use a lot of VoIPs like Ts3/Discord, but in 90% of the cases with people from the Internet, so it's hard to relate.
You're probably right, but I do not use them (insta, snap, ...) so I'm not aware of what I do lose
I find this to be a very useful feature that you only get with "smart" messaging apps like WhatsApp.
