If you have a problem with using a Google account on a Google product, don’t use that Google product. Use signal, WhatsApp or any other messaging service.

Yes but it’s a proprietary Google app. Degoogling is to rid yourself of this app.

They don’t, RCS is open.

Use another messaging services. It’s google messages.

Unrelated, this is for accessing via messages.google.com if you want to dwgoogle don’t use GOOGLE messages.

That’s literally not this. This is for accessing on tablets and computers via the web app.

Me literally just learning about split-usr and now it’s gone 😭

In Australia, esim is so easy, I can press a button on my carriers website and it takes up to an hour (always 10-15) and I’m off on the new phone with a link to the new SIM

I mean porting with esim is rather easy. If you’re with a good provider it’s an hour process. Still not as good as regular Sim, but if you need to swap between multiple phones at the drop of a hat, you’re in a very small minority.

I’m glad the Reddit quality arguments have migrated to here. Thank you both for your comedic routine.

Smart analogy too; I just can’t see these replacing regular smart phones until the technology makes them sufficiently thin. Because of this I doubt we will see them lower much in price. I would also want an s pen built into the phone.

Like a smartwatch? I’d love the z fold for notes and such as well as games and video but I have reservations over durability and price.

I love arch as much as the next guy but it can be a bit of a bugger to install. It’s reasonable to want a little more simplicity with all of the benefits of arch.

I have the s22 regular for the same reason of wanting a really small phone. The size of the iPad mini would be my perfect phone but I also want the option to take notes these days so I may choose a larger phone in a few years.

Woah, which; and why so many

How has it been for durability, crease lines etc

My brother’s z flip breaking put me right off, even though I’d love the screen size of the fold for notetaking.

Exactly, there’s no durability to these phones and I can’t get one at THAT price point.

I totally get you on that second point, though I feel different on it. I feel regardless of phone type I would use it the same amount but I would like to have a Z fold when they’re better to merge tablet and phone into one. I’m absolutely one for durability though.

Jesus y’all are rude. Obviously he meant he can interact with the app in the same way he used to (via sync). When you’ve equated an app with a service for so long you will tend to say things like that. No need to get all elitist about it.

Signal is peer to peer no?
