Subsequent 15 sec videos trying to convince iPhone users by focusing on:
-
privacy & security (https://piped.video/watch?v=sFpuVW8SR_k), vaguely touts proactive protection without really specifying what it is in the video (they do show a Play Protect scan as an example), but pretty sure they’re referring to this: https://www.android.com/safety/security/
-
emoji reactions (https://piped.video/watch?v=P0bcpUqEfdM);
-
transferring photos (https://piped.video/watch?v=WLhREY3ynrE);
-
device compatibility (https://piped.video/watch?v=HE7AklvsG5o), basically shows an example of device pairing.
IMO the examples are pretty basic and vague, not what would win over any iPhone user.
Isn’t it all about the blue bubbles being one of the bigger reasons. I wonder what impact apps like imessage not being tied to hardware would have.

This is why I like services like beeper bringing iMessage support over to android. I get to use the phone like, but also make my friends happy by not messing up the blue bubbles
Same. I’m using Beeper on my Pixel for iMessage. I use OneCalender to sync my Apple Calendar with my wife. No reason to use an iPhone. I prefer Android.
Ya Beeper is awesome. I use it for WhatsApp, because I need it for my landlord, but there’s no chance in hell I’m installing WhatsApp on my phone.
