They already drove everyone I know to FB messenger. A long time ago.

It's sad and true. FB messenger is such a crappy thing but google still manages to be worse than it. I think the last time I used a messaging app that doesn't consistently crash and fail on the basics (scrolling, pasting text) was when I used MSN messenger. That was also the last time I could use a single messaging app to message everyone

Luckily my friend group has slowly migrated away from FB Messenger thanks to the battery life impact (substantial, in our experience) and hamfisting of Stories/Ads into the app.

For the most part, we're back on SMS now. Personally I'm hoping AOL releases AIM mobile soon and we can finally go full circle to my first messaging client.

I'd love SMS if apple would stop screwing around with it re: imessage.
