    OK that makes sense. My family excluded me from group chats while i was using Google messages. I couldn’t convince them to change. So i eventually broke down and bought the mac mini rather than get an i phone

    Hopefully yours are more tolerant

      Google messages and IMessages at this point are literally the same thing. They both use RCS, just on different platforms. Unless your family really like Apple, it shouldnt have been a problem.

      My folks were really chill about the change until i decided to go the degoogle route. Texting started to become an issue, and im trying to tell anyone that i text to go to Delta Chat. So far, some of my family are using it. But for others, i know its gonna be an issue.

        They weren’t the same thing for us. Any group messages i was in, videos especially would get transcoded to tiny thumbnails
