Crazy this is like needing Whatsapp on steroids. Literally needing such a crap locked down tracking device just because the US doesnt have the balls to force apple to open up
Mate, I’ve never once been pressured to use an iPhone in the states. Not sure what any of that has to do with international travel where chat platforms are phone-agnostic. No one using whatsapp cares about my Pixel.
It’s not international travel. I live with my wife in her country. International calling and texting is expensive.
So I can just get a use an iPhone with iMessage or convince my immediate and extended family and professional contacts to use a different chatting app.

I’m sure at least your family will happily just install Signal, WhatsApp or so in order to avoid excessive monetary cost to you. What kind of family wouldn’t?
Imagine having the gall to call someone else clueless while simultaneously claiming to know how all business communication for every business in the world works.
But imessenger works over the internet. It’s not an SMS service so the carrier has nothing to do with it. im in tons of groupchats with imessenger recipients. never had a problem except with apple purposefully downgrading all media. my phone has wifi calling so I can receive my sms messages anywhere I can get service.
I hate that it’s used so heavily in the states. It’s the biggest reason that I’m still using an iPhone over Android.
I live internationally and it’s too difficult to convince my contacts to switch. Just not worth the trouble.
Why you let people decide for you what phone you use? I moved here and every single one of my friends have WhatsApp even though they use iPhone.

I’ve been lightly pressured in multiple circles to get an iPhone.
And I heavily pressure all my friends and family with iphones to switch to android, all the time. Doesn’t mean any of them do it.
Most of my iPhone friends aren’t smart enough to use an android.
Ugh, this stupid shit again.
iPhone users r dum ammirite guys?
elaborate.
What do you want to know?

It’s just easier to use an iPhone.

It’s more about professional contacts.
Use email

I like email
Business communication happens over email and Teams. Arrive in the real world before making disrespectful and clueless comments.

What you said has nothing to do with an iphone.
Ok
It does when it is one person trying to get a group of people trying to switch platforms.
