that’s a good point maybe there would be a large market for it. Even just the ability to use iMessage from android would be huge. There is definitely some in group/out group dynamics going on, some iphone users call android people “Green bubbles”
There does seem to be an in group / our group thing for teenagers and people in their 20s though.
The biggest feature benefit of group imessaging is sharing images/video at original quality. But I feel like that is also a benefit for WhatsApp, in that its compression results in quick messages.
