Yes, I’m the one in the group DM that turns the bubbles green, I’m sorry.

But other than that, I don’t hear many other reasons why people actually prefer iPhones over Androids. What other reasons are there?

    Isn’t Google Meet (previously Duo) kinda like FaceTime?

      The fact that most people cant answer that is the problem. More people have android phones than iphones yet everyone knows FaceTime and no one knows a name for video calling on android phones. Android users dont have a culture to video calling where as people with iphones casually facetime eachother instead of doing phone calls.

        I personally just don’t see why you would do a facetime call at all. There isn’t something for me that the video is adding to the conversation, most of the time when people on discord have their camera on i just talk without even looking at the cam. Why do Facetime over normal call?

          Because it feels way more like we’re in person when facetiming? Being able to see eachother and show eachother stuff is great. Its much different to discord because you’re focused on eachother not doing other stuff while the video is on the side

            Well, I don’t really see the reason for myself still. I understand what your reasoning is but I feel like it’s because i could just visit anyone i would facetime at any time i could because most of them live in cycling distance

        Must be another American thing, like blue bubbles. I know plenty of people with iPhones and nobody uses facetime.
