I guess there’s WhatsApp etc, but it’s not a great experience. And that’s in part due to the ecosystem. I can swipe 200 photos and send them to my wife - it shares them on my iCloud behind the scenes, and sends a link. Messages makes it seem like I’ve sent 200 full quality photos in an instant.

That’s hard to do without the vertical integration.



In the UK nearly everyone is using Whatsapp (or Signal, Telegram, even FB Messenger - never iMessage) and it's completely fine.


In the UK here, using WhatsApp regularly too, but the image quality is hopeless on it, and it won’t let you send many at a time.

If I can, I always use iMessage as the integration is just better - especially for media.
