I/rest of family only switched to iPhones because we finally got tired of Googles messaging app bullshit. iMessage is by FAR the superior messaging app between the two. Fuck, at one point Google had like, what, 3-4? different fucking messaging apps out at the same god damn time. Even though the name was stupid, Google should have went balls deep in their Hangouts app and made it was iMessage is. But nope, they did what they always do and just slowly start stripping features away and EOL'd it and came out with another half baked app.
