I am currently an IOS user, however, as the title suggests, I wish to switch to android. This is because I would prefer to use free software and not be locked into the apple ecosystem. That being said I am already locked into apple and would like to know how anyone else here has managed the switch.
I for one know I will face problems regarding group chats with friends and family on IOS, I will lose out on iCloud+ features, I will have to buy a replacement for my HomePod, I will need to replace apple home, etc.
How did anyone else here who has made such a switch replace or solve these issues?
pretty sure Snapchat is still not very cross platform, can’t use it on pc
Who is bringing a PC into a discussion about mobile cross platform apps? Many apps have the option, but I don’t think anyone primarily thinks of anything but being able to work across iOS and Android.
Plus it seems once it works outside of Apple’s fortress, it can find a way to work on a non mobile device. It’s kind of in the DNA.
It does matter. Take iMessage. It’s cross platform enough for most people. You can text an Android-using friend and they can text you back. There are annoying limitations, but if you use a Mac, having the same messages available on your computer while you’re sitting at your desk at work is a feature that you may use, and if so, that feature is probably more important to you than whether you can directly share a video clip at full quality versus having to share a link or whatever.
apps like discord and telegram would desktop clients, making them more cross platform if that makes sense
You can use it on pc though.
I didn’t know, since when?
