I don’t understand the complaint here. I am in several group chats that have a mix of iPhone, Android, and other messaging clients. I have not lost access to anything.
Sending video is atrociously bad potato quality. How to send to android? Easiest is email and then the many other options. According to Steve Jobs “get your mom an iPhone”.
I swear at one time I could not edit a group chat if an android was in the group chat but that must have recently changed.
Maybe they think they lose the group chat transferring to android or the chat history. Windows phone link is bad with an iPhone also. Can’t even text an android phone. For me, Android->Iphone->Macos->Windows and now I’m considering looping back to Android.
Our group chat with her family is evenly split between iOS and Android. No one’s ever said one word about it.
We absolutely have run into the issue where I can’t send my wife multiple photos at the same time over text (a single photo works fine)…so I just use one of several other methods to send photos in bulk.
To me, this topic is the ultimate “touch grass” example.
