You’re welcome! I felt bad that your comment was downvoted instead of anyone taking the time to explain. OP said it was on Snapchat and think it may have been the switch from having wifi to using cellular data

I have a similar problem, crappy 3rd world country phone signal causes so many issues

I just stick with the cheapest and latest SE model iphone when I need a new phone. Most phones are too big and the mini iPhone is to $$$, so SE it is. If a phone was my only computing device then I might be able to justify something nicer, but I can't.

It’s also great for finding your 4’11” girlfriend in crowds when you go to a food festival and get separated, lol.

Humor is definitely one of my coping mechanisms as well. And I can always tell when I’m making a genuine joke, or I’m just trying to make light of a very serious situation, because my therapist won’t laugh at the latter.

Fair enough. I just never had that in years of Android and knowing that US mostly use IPhone I was left wondering if this was a thing. Thanks for actually explaining a thought I hadn't considered!

Honestly, I’m impressed by how you handled it. You could have avoided it altogether but a lot of people just break down and give in so… congrats?

I live out in the boonies of the US and my messages sometimes don’t send like that, or if I’m in the car and go through a dry patch for my provider one will send when I have service then drop the next one because I lost service

I didn't start using it till he told me it was the way he texted lol, he's 4 years older than me idk

CHEDDAR BOB!

Eh ok forgive me for asking a question, and get that anger management issue checked out

Wow people use that for messaging these days, I thought it was what teens use to exchange nudes, sorry I’m old 🥱

Im imagining morgan freeman narrating that exchange

It's really hard to convey things properly over Snapchat without multi-messaging to use new lines lol

We're on Android 13 now! I remember getting the Android 12 beta and realizing how insanely well-designed it was lol

I understand wanting a reliable device though. I've just seen one too many messed up iPhone 13s and 14s to share that viewpoint, but again, I have a bias!

Be quiet dutch pansy.

You've already admitted you piss yourself when the power goes out.

Stop humiliating your pathetic country.

Very, very good point!

Best of luck to you, it's a long road--but you'll do so much better a few miles from here.

I'm glad we sorted it out too!

That would complicate almost every job out there, because they all rely on phones/computers now oof

she could throw them in the dishwasher after....

Some people really don't know there is a whole world outside of the US huh?

You from California or New York City boy?

Sorry for your SO, but I wish karma gets to a friend of mine who literally uses a new message for a new line. It’s very annoying

Oh I agree w/ all of your points.. it really sucks that I have to maintain a $100 dev account just so I can sideload things without having to do it weekly. The UK rulings to allow sideloading won't come soon enough - but I expect it will bring sideloading to everyone that wants it and/or alternative app stores, officially.

At the end of the day though I tinker with all of my electronics too much and just want my primary phone to be reliable period and iOS has been that for me. I don't know that I fully trust myself enough or Android to ever make Android my primary device. I do like they finally look like they've got buttery smooth scrolling down with Android 10 though - something Apple has had since version 1 but the 2 platforms do prioritize their features differently.

I've always thought that like driving a car requires a license to prevent the unskilled from causing havoc, telecoms technology should too
