WhatsApp?

Thank you! I’ll have to try that!

Divorce? 😅

😂🤣 that thought did cross my mind when he tried to convince me to get an android too!

Put a pin on it. Let’s wait a couple of months and we’ll see what happens

I’m using Google Photos app as it works fine on both.

This would be the best solution

If he recently switched it could be that his number is still registered with iMessage.

Deregister iMessage

Try that link. See if it helps 🫡

That was my first thought as well.

I’m sure they both also have Facebook and could use messenger.

Very much a US/NA problem.

WhatsApp or Telegram will do the trick, any other messaging service.

Signal chat app. Avoid WhatsApp Facebook owns them and who knows what they do with your data.

> Very much a US/NA problem.

It’s weird that people route all their communication through Facebook outside of the US.

Please Use Signal, or Telegram, and definitely stay away from Facebook. They are going to harvest your data in a very an un apple type manner.

signal, WhatsApp, telegram, Facebook messenger, teams, google chat, google photos, amazon photos

I’m iPhone and my girlfriend has Android. We use WhatsApp.

Tell him to logon to iCloud and disable iMessage and switch to signal

Whatsapp got big outside the US since we do not have unlimited text like in the US. People really don't care if it owns by Facebook tho.

Try using Signal - more secure than WhatsApp and other messaging platform.

Not if you want to send full quality photos…

Whatsapp was big outside USA before FB bought it. It was the default replacement for the extremely popular Blackberry Messenger, because WA was the only app that worked on all three smartphone platforms (Android, iPhone, and Blackberry). Once they’re in, there has never been a compelling reason to leave.

You could use another messaging app like Signal that works across Android and iOS. You could also use a cloud storage service like Google Photos or OneDrive. Create a folder and upload photos there and access them across all your devices.

Just stick with iPhones.

My sister has a Samsung. We use Microsoft Teams or Google Hangouts.

Plus Windows Phone

My extended family with a mix of iPhones and Android has been using Signal for years. Works pretty well and has gotten more polished since we started using it.

If you need it, you can link a desktop client with your phone too. I find that convenient.

Forgot about that. Yes, it was also working for the five people who used Windows phones.

Exactly. WhatsApp is much more convenient than other services due to its universal adoption - especially when you're communicating with people coming from many nations.

Yup, how can you explain regular joe or grandma to use signal just because is more safe if is less popular, WhatsApp is simple and ready to use.

Send it via email ᕕ(ᐛ)ᕗ

I was a big Windows Phone user until it shut down. I was one of those people haha.

whatever alternative you prefer works. it's just nonsense to use imessage and essentially bully people into getting an iphone because of their text bubble's color or "breaking group chats" when yall can just use a cross platform app

Try WhatsApp

I've tried the link but not working. Never got any otp to cancel it

Change your husband

Sounds like you’re talking about messaging? In which case the rather disappointing answer is WhatsApp

WhatsApp/ Signal

whatsapp, facebook messenger, google drive, for awhile there used to be a universal airdrop website called snapdrop but it’s been down and out for awhile

It’s 2023, probably neither of them do.

p2p chats are end to end encrypted

Don’t talk about something you don’t know.

I agree. But it’s widely used and will probably be the best option as most people they know likely use it.

They only discussed needing to send photos to one person (not people in general) and expressed that they care about quality.

The drop in quality of a photo on WhatsApp to most people is barely noticeable. Zooming in is a different story however. Chances are they’ll come across others who don’t have an iPhone so it’s still worth having for other people.

She says he doesn't use social media so won’t have facebook

WhatsApp, telegram , signal.

WhatsApp, telegram , signal.

I’ve always used WhatsApp to just sent a few photos from a day out.

We have this here too. So its not much of a problem

We just love Daddy Zuck

RIP Lumia 920

Divorce is the only option here.

Kidding, kidding.

My friend is in one of these mixed-tech marriages and they use Google Photos. His wife (the iPhone user) has it on her iPhone and she's able to upload photos to shared albums to share with him. If you're just texting photos and videos back and forth you can also use something like WhatsApp, Signal, or Google Meet.

When my boyfriend had an android, we always used WhatsApp to send photos

My wife and I use Viber

Amazon prime (if you are a member) gives free full resolution unlimited cloud photo storage, just don’t store important stuff there like socials and important documents

With the Google photos, do we use the same amount or able to link it separately? Would this work with family so I can just show family photos of the kids without texting individually or posting on social media?

My sister had an iPhone 11, but she recently bought a new phone with a monthly plan (14 pro max) and we both use WhatsApp and telegram at the same time and we don’t like androids in general as they went downhill in terms of camera quality when we use snapchat to take pictures or videos

You each have your own google account and then you can create shared albums. Put any photos you want to share into those shared albums. Can add as many people as you want to an album so easy to share with family.

iMessage sends plain text messages to anyone no matter what kind of phone they have. I don’t group chat.

You should try Telegram app sending phones or videos are more HD.
