the state of messaging is quite depressing. You have apple doing its own thing and with apparently no intention to have its communication service on all the major platform.

Google doing what google does and running like an headless chicken creating a new service every minute instead of creating one good one.

Last time I tried to launch WeChat, you had to surrender to it a disgusting amount of personal information to even launch the app.

You have some outliers like Telegram or Signal, but good luck getting all your contacts on there.

As a result I just have a dozen of messaging apps installed on my devices.
