But the very idea that someone has to know this has to be done and disable iMessage is insane to me, and I suspect part of the reason it is the way it is is because Apple doesn't really mind what (to the average Joe) is a major annoyance when switching phones.
To be fair, matters were even worse before Apple released that tool. But this has been an ongoing issue for something like four years.
I wonder if Apple could really fix it any way short of asking the phone companies to know when someone switched.
Maybe, maybe not. That is what the person I was responding to claimed though.
I don't believe it is reasonably easy to choose/install another operating system on an i device. I could be wrong.
>One person having an iOS device and another having an Android device does not cause any issues between the two, they are fully able to communicate by the nature of cell phones.
By the nature of cell phones? What is the nature of cell phones?
Ethernet existed in the 90's and I personally setup networks using it that allowed Windows and Linux systems to communicate with each other.
