Show HN: Start a Text with 'Like "'
This is such a ridiculous hack. A friend with an iphone sent a text to my Android reading:
Like: "I'm thinking of a number"
Google's Messages app interpreted this as:
to "I'm thinking of a number"
I was like, who are you responding to?!
It took a minute of total miscommunication to realize that Messages must be just using the first six characters to decide if something is a "like" command

If you, on an iphone, write:
Like: "Too many squirrels in this town"
the Google Messages on Android will show:
to "Too many squirrels in this town"
Which is the same way it shows if someone thumbs ups a message you never received.
