Yes, limit yourself, Apple trained you right. Makes zero sense to limit yourself just because it's not a iPhone your friend is using.

I know you love Apple and Apple can do no wrong, but Apple actually did iPhone users a solid by supporting RCS. I have no idea why in this century anyone would want to voluntarily limit themselves. Didn't say security, I use both platforms and security has never been a issue for either. I know that's what Apple tells you.

I’m not the only one switching off unencrypted rcs.

Nothing to limit, Everyone I know uses an iPhone and iMessage/facetime. I can’t recall the last time I actually saw someone using a Samsung galaxy here in Europe.

Nobody in Europe or Asia actually uses RCS. It’s an iPhone world, especially in the premium segment. You must have realized that being a hardcore Android user and also owning and using and iPhone.

Ok fanboy. How's the new feature of putting your icons wherever you want, well it's new for iPhone. Like I said, dumb to limit yourself, but it's your life.

By the way imessage isn't the most popular texting app in Europe and other parts of the world. They got tied off the apple limits a long time ago.

There is about 1% difference on iPhones and Samsung in Asia, that's not major dominance. Then when you add in all the non Samsung phones using Android, well you know the answer to that.

Don’t use it.


“Ok fanboy…:dumb to limit yourself”
certainly looks like your vocabulary is quite limited, you shouldn’t limit yourself. 🤣 🤣

Guess you edited your post .

Never said iMessage was the most popular messaging service in Europe or the Middle East, but the iPhone is everywhere, and they all have iMessage and FaceTime enabled, even if they don’t use iMessage as their primary messaging app.

“And in certain countries iMessage (Apple Messages) is also a prominent messaging app.”
It’s right there on the data you posted. Probably should have read it first 🤣


Yes there is a 1% difference in Samsung and Apple market share for all smartphones, but if you look up marketshare for phones prices >$500 or the premium smartphone market Apple is at 90% with Samsung falling further behind every year.

If you want to get into specifics, Sales for s24 series and Samsung foldabales are at an all time low this year with Samsung copying the iPhone, Apple Watch Ultra, AirPod designs and software look. As It turns out Apple is now number 1 in Korea in the 18-40 demographic causing Samsungs chairman to have a meltdown feuding with the active chief of the Mx Devision as Samsung mobile is imploding from within. Good times.

Meanwhile Apple just recorded around 40 million preorders for their iPhone 16 series in three days, for context s24 series + z fold 6 and flip 6 will only sell about 15 million units combined for all of 2024, its pretty much game over for premium Android moving forward 🤣 🤣

🥱. At this point I'm not reading your whole post, I don't care enough about this to read it all. . I'll spell it out better.. Who cares. Samsung or Apple isn't going anywhere. You obviously care about this more then I do, you can hold the trophy. I'll let Apple know you have their back, but I doubt they care. 🥱

Have a good one

Chin up champ, I’m sure there will be some users that won’t disable rcs.

You mean like rcs

Did I say just iPhone. Nope I didn't

I keep telling you, I use both and both have pros and cons. I just don't become a fanboy for one or the other. I'll say bad about both. Guess what, the apple watch is better then the Samsung watch.

When did you get an Apple Watch?


Yeah but to be fair the Apple Watch is a no brainer
