i would be too, but it's using the infamous snapdragon lol 808 and based on playing around with the hardware demos at the microsoft devices event, it's a stuttery piece of poo poo. which is impressive because the one and only thing winpho had going was that it ran well on poo poo phones

i had the same problem, op. my wife had a bunch of images on her phone from a family member who passed away. she wanted to save them all and i found out there was no easy way to do this from the phone itself. so i had to install some janky software on my pc and it ended up creating a folder on my hard drive that I can't delete anymore. windows tells me it can't be found. you could say i got owned.

singapore but yeah people in asia are pretty divided on which app they use by geography, like koreans like kakao talk and the chinese like wechat

would've expected whatsapp to be more popular globally in general though, seeing as facebook dropped 20 billion loving dollars on it

also lol just a day after saying no one i know sends trad messages anymore my friend just started messaging me with imessage. i reply it, then get a reply in a separate thread from the same guy because apparently the first imessage was using his email and the second using his number. both email and number are saved under the same contact card so why the gently caress arent the threads merged jesus christ apple

Yeah the fb things makes no sense since there's a million chat programs and you gotta pay for whatsapp which is a huge barrier for a lot of people

I can't remember ever paying for whatsapp (was it ever free??) or maybe it was like a dollar or some token amount. in any case my account is apparently lifetime and its associated with phone number and easy number porting means mine hasn't changed in like 10 years or something lmao holy poo poo it's been awhile. I remember back when I was an angsty teen I was spending like 40-50 bucks a month extra on sms overcharges so the dollar or w/e I paid for life is kinda moot. I think the adoption rate of these apps are so high in Asia because Asians really love messaging

but yeah now that apps are p much ubiquitous I have no idea why Facebook kept the cost barrier up considering the main purpose of their acquisition must have been the massive trove of data and opportunity for future collection rather than the windfall profits from 1 dollar a year memberships

teens use Facebook (because only olds think that Facebook is bad because they're only friends with other olds) and Facebook has an integrated chat program

foreigners have their own foreigner chat apps

also in general texting is free unless you are doing it internationally (which is why foreigners have their own apps)

eh idgaf if its lame or what. you know what it isn't? a buggy piece of poo poo on my iphone 4.

snapchat is the most poorly coded app there is. I sometimes have to hard reset my phone to get out of it
facebook chat is not tragic but not that great
tweetbot DM is slow prolly coz of twitters api

kik supremacy

maybe and maybe not. its not like suddenly NO ONE uses facebook, or NO ONE uses twitter, or NO ONE uses instagram, or NO ONE uses snapchat. millions upon tens and hundreds of millions of people still use those things daily
