Mr Shiny Pants posted:You're from the US right? In Europe iMessage could as well be non-existent, WhatsApp is the standard over here. Weird statement. I haven't even had whatsapp installed since like 2013. Where I'm at most are on iOS, there was never any sort of mass adaption of an extra app just for texting, and most didn't seem to think too hard about the fact that messages would occasionally be green instead of blue. Then FB messenger came along, has been steadily taking over more and more each year, and is now definitely the default for regular communication. Especially now that it does everything, including video. It's probably been years since the last time I exchanged phone numbers with someone. Of course I wouldn't randomly extrapolate that to the entire continent because that would be... weird. But it strikes me as against the laws of physics that iMessage could be close to non-existent _anywhere_, since if your boss, grampa or whoever else sends you a regular text and you both happen to have iPhones they'll be using iMessage whether they know it or not. Anyways, hackintoshing is cool and good and everyone should do it. Mine was a PITA to set up because every single part of my setup is unsupported, but I haven't had to fiddle with it in like a year. It just works, which ironically is more than I can say about my past couple macbooks.

Interesting! Funny how it differs so much between regions. Can't really wrap my head around what need whatsapp actually fills in this day and age. Considering the amount of ground covered by messenger, when it comes to the rest (as in the boss/grampa example) why doesn't SMS suffice? Is tons of free/included texts not standard or something? Only reason I can think of.
