Why are Apple users so upset about this? It's almost as if they don't want interoperability with Android users. And please spare me the spam excuse.



Why do android users want something they have everything else ahead? I don’t want interoperability. If I did I’d use the other messaging apps that are far beyond apple’s. The only value I see is stubbornness with older family as many see iPhones as a simpler device


I'm going to go with a combination of Stockholm syndrome, crabs in a bucket and snobbery. Apple users like to think they're in a special little club.


Speaking as one Apple user, I don’t think of myself in a special club - I just like that my shit works. What I don’t understand is why Android users are so vested in ruining it for me.

Can’t have nice things.


The guy you replied to made an honest mistake, he forgot to include 'smugness'.


Why would it ruin it for you?


Spam. And you knew that.
