Changing to inferior platform and UX just for a messaging app is some pretty hardcore addiction

At this point, Whatsapp is pretty much critical infrastructure in many countries. And yet Zuck has been so stupid in not leveraging its full potential and instead doing Metaverse and Reels shit.

Well, take a look at emails linked in this submission - Apple used iMessage to keep users on inferior platform and succeeded in the US :-)

Honestly this "iPhone is objectively better" narrative of some commenters is facepalm worthy.
