My parents used to text a lot but even they’re on Facebook messenger now. Might go back to texts
“Can you please buy some ben and Jerry’s type ice cream?” Wor Lass at 12.44 on Saturday.
I rarely switch my internet on if I’m out of the house so it’s the only way of messaging me. On this occasion, I did not see the message and did not buy her any ice cream.
I get a couple a month I’d say - normally for one off messages when you don’t know the person well enough to just start up a WhatsApp convo
Still got a few mates who I text with and just never moved over to whatsapp. It’s all fine
Got one earlier today from The Man…
Brexit dividend keeps paying out
My hairdresser only uses text messaging on his work phone, so I get one off him at least once a month as well.
This is fascinating.
It’s the main way that my girlfriend and I communicate with each other when we’re not in the same room.
Whatsapp for images or links; text messages for everything else.
My brother doesn’t have whatsapp either, so that’s all text messages too.
Just quicker and easier to use, innit?
It works better with hands-free messages as well (eg when my girlfriend is driving home).
Oh, you mean ‘why the split?’
Um, dunno really. No specific reason for not moving everything over to whatsapp, I guess.
You can play pool with your friends through iMessage.
SMS vs whatsapp?
literally the same
aah yes apart from that time I checked if anyone was bringing [redacted] on a night out in my family group instead of housemate group
Got one earlier from my union rep
And being able WhatsApp on a computer. + group chats obv.
Same with Mrs CCB and I
My friend L refuses to get a smart phone. So probably from him.
I do everything by text message (actually iMessage)
Shitposting and groups on WhatsApp
iMessage works better on my laptop and in my car. I prefer it
I basically don’t use it on my phone any more
people who don’t use the web version when at at computer are weirdos
