It's apparently absolutely huge in the US, but yeah. Wish it was more popular here.

most of europe still hung up on whatsapp, but imessage is definitely one of the best messaging apps. Its a shame its not as big in the UK as it is in the US

I use WhatsApp purely because 99% of my friends use it. I'd rather use Signal or Telegram. I just don't find iMessage all that intuitive to use.

In the US, people get bullied and shamed for not having blue messages, it's huge over there.

Has anyone ever used SharePlay?

I never knew that, I just presumed they use WhatsApp along with most of the world.

Although live text does look good!

People who use iMessage. It's a shame they couldn't develop an app for android. I think a lot of people would use it.

Not used it here. I solely use iMessage though. Luckily pretty much all of my contacts are in the Apple ecosystem.

But how do you communicate fully with Android people? You can't use half the features on Messages if the other person isn't on iPhone. That's what bugs me.

Tap to pay on iPhone is interesting. Would be better if they cut out the middleman.

Haha the BNPL in this climate is hilarious though.

Apple Pay Later - Sweet!

Apple Pay Later - Sweet!

Over six weeks? It's practically useless. Needs to be 4 months, one payment every month to match people's salary payments.

Im the same, most friends and family have been using for whatsapp for years so just been stuck here. I dont use those but imessage is my 2nd go to

 

[No-One]

I guess all these Apple Pay things are usa only. We’re still waiting for Apple Pay Cash

Might change, they might be testing it so it can be done over different periods.

This is what I was thinking lol, over a few weeks whats the point? most of the world only gets paid once per month

Multistop routes. Sweet!

 

[Dianbobo]

Hopefully this includes proper sports as well

 

[ChrisD.]

Hopefully they bring Sports for the UK, so I don't have to use Sky/BBC. Sky Sports in particular is just terrible.
