Switching phones is such a big deal. Apart from all the apps you use, it’s also hard to let go of some features you’ve been accustomed to using for years — and if you’ve been using an iPhone — it’s almost impossible to let go of iMessage. iPhone owners are all too familiar with those green text messages from friends with Android phones, but with Apple’s decision to support RCS (rich communication service) recently, it could make it a lot easier to switch phones.
This is probably why I (and a lot of my friends that use Android) often choose to use another messaging app besides the native one on the Android phones I use. I can’t even tell you the last time I’ve used the native one, seeing that I frequently rely on other messaging apps like WhatsApp, Telegram, Google Voice and Facebook Messenger.
